USD: Seasonals Bullish Next 20 Trading Days; EUR/USD Down & USD/JPY, USD/CHF Up – BofA

As we approach the end of 2020, what is the outlook for the US dollar?

Here is their view, courtesy of eFXdata:

Bank of America Global Research maintains a bullish USD bias into year-end.

“The  BBDXY  has  been up  9  out  of the last 10 years for an average gain of 1.4% over the next 20 trading days. In all 10 years, EURUSD  was  down  and  USDJPY &  USDCHF were  up over this horizon.  USD  appreciation  on  these  pairs has  averaged  roughly  2%,” BofA notes.  

Bullish US10YY seasonals could be part of it,  thus potentially  not holding  this time around  if global  risk aversion rises. But if risk does  trade lower  (counter to  seasonals), USD  should be supported  as  its  correlation to risk  aversion  remains heavily  positive,” BofA adds.
