Making the dollar great again?

Unless there is actual (not just feared) disruption to energy export infrastructure, we think the economic and financial impact of the Israel-Iran conflict globally will remain limited. We are sticking with our view that the US dollar will rebound a bit after its terrible start to 2025. We expect the FOMC to keep its policy rate unchanged this year, reversing the recent shift in US interest rate expectations and helping to underpin the dollar.
