US Dollar Emerges as New Funding Currency for Carry Trades Citigroup reports a resurgence of the carry trade, but with a notable shift: hedge funds are now using US dollars instead of yen to fund investments in emerging markets. This change is driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and the Bank of Japan’s recent rate hike, which have altered the traditional carry trade model. Hedge funds are increasingly bearish on the dollar and are using it to purchase emerging market currencies like the Brazilian real and Turkish lira. However, Citigroup anticipates this window for carry trades may be short-lived due to potential volatility surrounding the upcoming US presidential election. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Silver Production Set to Grow 4.1% in 2024 with Operations Resuming READ MORE World Gold Council: Gold Demand Trends Full Year 2023 READ MORE Wall Street Optimism Grows as Jefferies Reports 59% Jump in Deal Revenue READ MORE Fidelity's Macro Guru Sees Bitcoin Reaching $6 Trillion Valuation READ MORE Revisiting the 2024 Gold Price Predictions READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
