Currency Market Commentary September 2026

Key arguments

• Offsetting fundamental forces keep G10 currencies range-bound; within ranges the US dollar is likely to move higher, though the model ranks it last.
• Model rankings are unstable: signal strength is narrowly dispersed, and policy or geopolitical shifts could quickly change them.
• The Japanese yen is the largest potential beneficiary as the BoJ appears set to accelerate rate hikes and repatriation flows build ahead of 2027.
• The euro, British pound, Swiss franc, and Swedish krona risk falling toward the lower half of their ranges despite improved non-US growth.
