FXStreet reports that economists at MUFG Bank said that the dollar is on the back foot but could rebound as consumer confidence also receives a hit.
“The USD900 B fiscal stimulus package agreed on Monday has failed to reignite the optimism and is now under a cloud of fresh doubt after President Trump tweeted a video last night calling the package “a disgrace” with unnecessary spending included.
“Trump’s wish for larger stimulus for individuals may also be helping provide support for the markets although the Republicans in the Senate are very unlikely to agree to the increase Trump called for. So the market’s indifference could quickly begin to change and that would likely result in a correction lower in risk and some further rebound for the US dollar.”
“The stimulus legislation also incorporates government funding and hence if not signed by 28th December, a government shutdown would follow. This renewed uncertainty adds to near-term risks which will provide some added support for the dollar. Although we suspect the deal will be signed. It surely would not be good for the Republicans in the Senate run-off elections to scupper this deal now.”
