The Falling Dollar
The falling dollar is sustainable and will it does worsen until the final fall of the greenback? Reversus remains unconvinced even if the current price should not go. Meanwhile, the impotence of the European Central Bank and its inability to control the course of the euro are clear.
Financial markets are euphoric and raw materials, oil top, fly off again, without it there are fundamental reasons. Of course, global production, the Asia head emerges quickly syncope suffered earlier this year, but prospects for a sustained recovery of final consumption are still uncertain.
In developed economies, banks are still restructuring their balance sheets, while conditions on the labor markets remain difficult. Emerging economies should be about them – and are beginning to perceive – rebounding much faster. Many of them are still dependent on consumers in developed countries and any process of reallocation of sources of growth towards domestic demand will take time. The beliefs of investors are probably too optimistic but it is insufficient to justify the current context.
Remember, central banks have never released as monetary conditions by lowering interest rates to levels not seen them, then injecting massive liquidity cheap through unconventional means (quantitative easing, lengthening the maturity of operations refinancing …). It said while banks can not help but once again play at the casino.
The truth is more complex. The banks still retain the form of cash or assets to secure the bulk of accumulated liquidity. In contrast, the abundant liquidity provided by central banks led the crash yields on liquid securities in the short term. Investors have therefore decided to reallocate their investment portfolios to classes of riskier assets. So, earlier this year, the U.S. money market funds, whose investment horizon stops at one year, representing $ 3.5 trillion in assets under management.
In late September, gave an estimated decrease of 10% or a whopping $ 350 billion. The target investors are clearly emerging markets – particularly Asia – where the equity indices have registered gains of around 70% since the beginning of the year, and raw materials.
The dollar basis of the carry trade
What may be connected with the evolution of the dollar? you ask. The process involves reallocation of capital flows outward from the U.S. to move toward the emerging economies, with the purpose of acquiring securities denominated in local currency. The weakness seen as sustainable U.S. interest rates also allows operators to change from using the dollar as a funding currency in their carry trades. The carry trade involves borrowing in low yielding currencies and invest those funds in high yielding currency in order to earn an interest differential.
However, this type of operation is betting on a stable exchange rate. Indeed, if the currency in which funds are being depreciated, the losses can be considerable. Finally, the operation is particularly attractive as it anticipates a rise in interest rates in the destination currency. The beliefs of the actors are very optimistic about growth prospects in emerging markets – which implies a medium term rise in rates, international capital flows towards these have grown rapidly.
