Summary: Goldilocks continues, but dollar downside remains supported on US exceptionalism as we expected in the Q1 outlook. Geopolitical and earnings risks could take a bigger focus this week and keep the dollar supported, absent any significant dovish FOMC surprise. EUR’s underperformance could remain hard to reverse, and markets will be sensitive to a less hawkish BOE outcome or a miss in Aussie Q4 CPI.
