SOCGEN says the dollar’s strength is likely to persist into H2 2026, noting the US is the only G10 economy whose average growth forecast for this year is higher than at the start of the year. The bank warns that if US growth keeps inflation above target, rate cuts would be politically difficult even under President Trump. SOCGEN projects the dollar index (DXY) at 103.6 and EUR/USD at 1.11 by year-end.
