Institution: The dollar may continue to face pressure in 2026

TechFlow, December 29 — According to Jinshi Data, Abbas Owainati of Charles Stanley said in a report that after significant depreciation this year, the dollar will continue to face challenges in 2026. The dollar's decline this year reflects multiple factors including market concerns over long-term fiscal sustainability, policy uncertainty weakening its safe-haven currency status, increased currency hedging by non-U.S. investors, and shifts in capital flows. He said that with the Fed expected to cut interest rates further, the dollar may continue to be under pressure next year. He also noted that a weaker dollar could support emerging market equities by alleviating foreign debt burdens, improving capital flows, and boosting local-currency returns.
