The US dollar has been strengthening recently due to political changes, including President Trump's second term and the Republican Party's control of Congress.
This has led to a surge in the dollar index and a decrease in the EURUSD exchange rate. However, there are concerns about the medium-term outlook for the dollar, as historical relationships suggest that the current dollar index level may be misaligned.
Additionally, the economic environment has changed since 2017, with the Federal Reserve cutting rates and a higher US debt burden influencing long-term funding costs. This could undermine the dollar's long-term fundamentals.
Analysts believe that the US dollar may be overvalued relative to its underlying fundamentals and anticipate a potential rebound in the EURUSD exchange rate. Investors are advised to consider strategies that capitalize on periods of dollar strength and to remain vigilant and adaptable in their currency strategies.
