A strong US GDP figure could further strengthen the Dollar – ING

The past 24 hours have seen a further strengthening of the Dollar. Economists at ING analyze Greenback’s outlook.

Dollar is at risk of some technical corrections

Third-quarter advanced GDP figures are released and should come in strong, with the consensus centred around 4.5% quarter-on-quarter annualised growth. A strong US GDP figure could further strengthen the Dollar.

The Dollar retains the negatives of an overbought currency and is therefore at risk of some technical corrections, but the growth and rate fundamentals are building a stronger floor for the USD. 

We see a greater risk that Japanese Yen interventions drag the Dollar lower if anything.
