As global central banks convene this week, eyes are firmly fixed on currency markets, particularly the U.S. dollar. The greenback remains strong despite expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut, which is seen as a virtual certainty by markets and analysts alike.

Morgan Stanley urges shorting the dollar, calling it a 'pain trade' within an environment heavily long on the currency. The macroeconomic landscape, influenced by geopolitical tensions and Trump's trade policies, keeps the allure high for holding dollars, according to Mizuho Bank.

Meanwhile, the euro, yen, and Canadian and Australian dollars brace for significant shifts tied to central bank actions. As analysts scrutinize global fiscal policies, any unexpected economic indicators or central bank rate changes could significantly impact the forex landscape.
