Hedgefondförvaltare rekordsatsar på stärkt dollar

Göteborg (FinWire) – Amerikanska hedgefondförvaltare älskar dollarn just nu. Enligt data från CFTC har större aktörer tagit långa positioner i valutan till rekordhöga 48 miljarder, skriver Bloomberg.

Anledningen uppges vara deras övertygelse om att dollarn kommer fortsätta att vinna mark mot de övriga valutorna såsom euron och yenen.

Den amerikanska ekonomin förväntas öka med tre procent under nästa år, jämfört med snittet på 2,5 procent för de övriga G-10 länderna. Det gör att det finns en möjlighet till att den amerikanska centralbanken genomför en första ränteökning från rekordlåga 0 procent till 0,25 procent, och därmed förstärker dollarn ytterligare.
