Brown Brothers Harriman argues that with risk sentiment likely having bottomed on March 30, the Dollar Index should revert to trading primarily on rate differentials. The bank expects DXY to remain confined within its nearly one-year 96.00–100.00 range over coming months, as markets look past the IMF’s gloomier global growth forecasts and focus on recovery.
