Dollar is falling in a risk-on environment

Troy Bombardia
2020-06-10
The U.S. Dollar is falling as risk-assets are bid up.

The global stock market rally has shrugged off economic and geopolitical fears. Stock trading is all the rage among young adults right now, many of whom no doubt were hooked on trading while staying at home during the lockdown (if you believe the anecdotes on Twitter). As a result, risk-assets are being bid up and the USD is losing its safe haven appeal. The past 11 days have seen the S&P rally more than 8% while the USD Index fell more than 3%:

When this happened in the past, it often marked the recover stage after a major market crash (see 2011, 2009, 1998 etc). As a result, the S&P could pullback in the short term, but usually pushed higher over the next 6-12 months:

As for the USD Index, this wasn't a good sign in the coming weeks and months. Regardless of whether the next big move was up or down, the USD Index usually fell in the short/medium term:

Here's the accompanying risk:reward table:

Since gold and the USD Index tend to have an inverse correlation, this has usually been a good sign for gold:

And has been a bullish factor for silver:

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
