It has fallen around 8% from a year ago, after the pandemic fueled a rush into ultrasafe assets and the dollar surged against the euro and British pound. While higher chances of new expenditure may boost inflation, Federal Reserve rate hikes, and a stronger dollar, investors’ relief with lower taxes means a weaker greenback.
Although the dollar has edged higher year-to-date, some on Wall Street expect factors including trade deficits and China’s expansion to weigh on the currency this year. The dollar’s share of global reserves has decreased to its lowest level since 1995, according to International Monetary Fund figures on central banks’ foreign-exchange holdings released last week.
As I have written yesterday: (…) Throughout the markets, risk-on has been making a return as long-dated Treasury yields retreated, dollar fell and commodities continue their bullish flag formation. The euro pared all losses amid overall weakness in the US dollar after the release of the services PMI stateside. “Given the excess dollar liquidity in the market, as aggregate mining activity gains traction, we expect the metical to strengthen,” they said in a a note Tuesday.
Quoting my yesterday‘s dollar observations: (…) As I have tweeted on Thursday, it were the investment-grade corporate bonds that signalled the turnaround in yields spreading to TLT next.

Like Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq says its proposal is a matter of corporate governance and investor protection, citing research showing that board diversity leads to better corporate performance. Data on social and governance matters could be a growth area for Nasdaq, says Paul Gulberg, a senior analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence who follows the exchanges. Nasdaq has told investors that it expects its ESG data and consulting business to bring in $50 million in revenue by 2025, up from about $5 million last year.

Yet Nasdaq’s proposal has won support from big U.S. pension funds and companies that are seeking greater accountability and clearer data. Iran insists it can return to compliance with the nuclear deal only if the US backtracks and lifts those sanctions, while the Biden administration wants Iran to act first.

Europe
In late March, EU decided to curb vaccine exports for six weeks to prevent a larger net outflow of vaccines out of the bloc. On the other side of the planet, Australia becomes the first country to get a taste of EU’s vaccine export embargo. The export curb underscores massive shortfalls of the AstraZeneca shot across the EU bloc and complicates Australia’s inoculation campaign, which is already 83% behind its original schedule. Another EU official said that staff had recently been warned about potential phishing attempts.Western institutions have uncovered at least two serious cyber-attacks recently.
