“We're getting a bit nervous about being dollar bears. In the midst of hawkish rhetoric from the Fed and strong economic growth, there's a definite risk the dollar's momentum can push it further.”
“In the last couple of years, the U.S. has taken a tough line on China. The fact that they were able to make this agreement tells us that Europe and Japan have fallen into line with U.S. on this matter. That's a major turning point.”
“Over the next few weeks there's a very good chance that China is going to widen the band. Global policy makers have a new resolve to settle the issue of currency flexibility with China and they're prepared to have a show-down if necessary.”
