Deutsche Bank’s analysts argue that investors are underestimating the potential strength of the U.S. dollar due to overly negative views on rate cuts and election outcomes. They believe a Trump victory would boost the value of the dollar, as concerns about trade wars and weak fiscal policy are overplayed. The U.S. economy is expected to outperform Europe and Asia, leading to a stronger dollar. The euro is predicted to fall to $1.08 by year-end, while USD/JPY will remain above 140 yen. Gold prices are set to rise as bond yields decline and Asian demand recovers.
