## Resource

In this episode of FX Moment, Bloomberg Intelligence Chief FX Strategist Audrey Childe-Freeman and Win Thin, chief economist at Bank of Nassau 1982 Limited, discuss the US dollar outlook into 2H. They acknowledge the return of economics and yields as key FX drivers which implies that dollar strength may be the path of least resistance, at least in 3Q, and for as long as US economic exceptionalism dominates. Win and Audrey also share respective views on Fed policy, with low market conviction in the debate about rate cuts vs. rate hikes associated with low conviction about the near-term dollar view. Dollar-yen and FX views outside the dollar box, including EMFX, are also part of Win and Audrey’s discussion. Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
