The Dollar's Collapse Party Might Be Ending -- HSBC Says the Real Bubble Is Forming Now
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with HSBC.
The dollar's fall has been fueled by U.S. tariff drama, rising global de-dollarization talk, and general unease around Washington's policy direction under Trump. But HSBC notes that some of the initial catalystslike the shock from the April tariff announcementare now old news. What's more, historical correlations between the dollar and U.S. yields are starting to re-emerge, which could be an early sign that the dollar is bottoming out. Equities and yields are also moving in tandem again, hinting at a broader return to fundamentals.
Still, the bears aren't out of ammo just yet. HSBC highlights scenarios that could keep the pressure on: more policy chaos, a faster-than-expected global rebound, or even leadership changes at the Fed. While none of these are base case assumptions, Mackel's team urges investors to stay alert. Bubbles don't last forever, they wrote. And if this really is an anti-dollar bubble, the unwinding could be just as sharp.

Singapore Dollar Strengthens Slightly After MAS Decision Dents Easing Hopes
0046 GMT — The Singapore dollar strengthens slightly against its U.S. counterpart after the Monetary Authority of Singapore's decision to leave policy unchanged dents easing hopes. 'About half of market participants had expected another policy easing, following the easing in January and April this year,' Commerzbank Research analysts say in a research report. Also, the government may upwardly revise Singapore's 2025 GDP growth forecast when the final 2Q GDP data are released next month, the analysts say. The government still projects a conservative 0%-2% growth this year, but the advance 2Q GDP grew by a stronger-than-expected 4.3%, the analysts note. USD/SGD is 0.1% lower at 1.2865. (

Trading Day: Stocks stumble, dollar up as Fed looms
By Jamie McGeever ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) -TRADING DAY Making sense of the forces driving global markets By Jamie McGeever, Markets Columnist The S&P 500 and Nasdaq ground out new highs on Tuesday but closed in the red, as earnings optimism faded and investors took chips off the table ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision and steer on Wednesday. More on that below. In my column today I look at the key part retail investors are playing in Wall Street's rise and how it may be different from previous market rallies. If you have more time to read, here are a few articles I recommend to help you make sense of what happened in markets today. 1. IMF nudges up 2025 growth forecast but says tariff risksstill dog outlook 2. Dollar shedding its tariff risk premium: Mike Dolan 3. Fed's policy toolkit may be headed for fundamentalchanges 4. Bond investors warm to risk, with Fed staying put in'Goldilocks' economy 5.

Brent above $73/bbl, WTI futures above $69.50/bbl. Stocks stumble, dollar up as Fed looms A day of consolidation and reversal across major equity and bond markets on Tuesday saw Wall Street ease and Treasury yields fall back as investors braced for Wednesday's Fed meeting and press conference from Chair Jerome Powell. No change on rates is the near-unanimous expectation across markets. So the focus will be on how Powell assesses the recent U.S. trade deals with Japan and Europe, the tariff impact on growth and inflation, and perhaps more intriguingly, the barrage of criticism flowing his way from President Donald Trump. Data on Tuesday showed that the U.S. goods trade deficit unexpectedly shrank to a near-two-year low in May, auguring well for a rebound in growth in the second quarter. Goldman Sachs economists upgraded their annualized Q2 GDP growth tracking estimate to 3.1% from 2.6%. The International Monetary Fund lifted its global growth forecasts too, signaling that the worst-case tariff scenarios have faded from view. But huge trade uncertainty still persists, on top of geopolitical tensions, a murky interest rate outlook and large fiscal deficits. Much of the immediate trade uncertainty centers on the U.S.-China nexus. High-level talks in Stockholm ended on Tuesday with both countries agreeing to seek an extension of their 90-day tariff truce. But if Trump doesn't agree to extend the August 12 deadline, tariffs could "boomerang" back to April 2 levels or maybe higher, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. The currency market, however, showed no sign of reversal on Tuesday. The dollar rose for a second day following the U.S.-European Union trade deal, a solid rebound that suggests the greenback may be shedding its elevated trade risk premium. A stronger dollar is not in the Trump administration's playbook though, and it will be fascinating to see how the White House responds if it continues to appreciate. Given Trump's views on the Fed, calls for lower rates would be a reasonably safe bet. All eyes now turn to the Fed and Powell's press conference on Wednesday, a day jam-packed with other major events. They include: second quarter U.S. and euro zone GDP estimates, an interest rate decision from Canada, and U.S. earnings reports from Meta and Microsoft. Retail replaces 'smart money' as Wall Street rocket fuel Retail investors are often late to Wall Street parties, only catching the rally once it's established and "smart money" is looking for the exit. But that doesn't appear to be the case this time around. Flow and survey data show that – far from playing catch-up – retail investors are a key force behind the latest U.S. equity whoosh that has been lifting the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to new highs on a near-daily basis. Retail investor participation as a share of total S&P 500 flow last week reached 12.63%, according to calculations by Goldman Sachs analysts. That's the highest share since February and well above the recent average, as retail participation has rarely exceeded 13% in the last few years, their figures show. Retail investors have been the "primary" driver of the current rally, Barclays equity strategists suggest, pouring more than $50 billion into global stocks over the last month. And their enthusiasm for equities is continuing to build, while institutional participation remains "muted", Barclays strategists note. "Re-risking seems to be the priority for small investors as improved sentiment into 2Q25 earnings, resilient macro data and Fed cut speculation combine to outweigh still-lingering tariff threats and deficit concerns," they wrote last week. This optimism was underscored in Morgan Stanley's latest quarterly survey of retail investors published last week. It shows 62% of those polled are now bullish U.S. equities, and 66% reckon the U.S. market will rise by the end of the quarter. These are both the highest levels since the survey was launched two and a half years ago. LONG KRISPY KREME This surge in retail activity could be a positive development. At a basic level, broader participation and democratization of the market is to be welcomed. And some analysts reckon the retail investor community has matured since 2021 when the "meme stock" frenzy spilled over into the wider market. But current retail trading still includes some of this highly speculative, often options-related meme stock activity, with the main targets this time around being heavily shorted names like Krispy Kreme, GoPro and Kohl's. Indeed, Bank of America analysts note, "zero-day to expiry" options that are popular with retail investors recently accounted for more than 60% of all S&P 500 options trading activity. And the longer the rally continues, the more fears of a major correction that crushes the retail community are bound to grow. These fears are not unwarranted. The latest figures from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) show that margin debt in U.S. stocks has crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time. This represents both retail and institutional investors' activity, but according to JP Morgan analysts, the retail cohort is predominantly responsible for the rise. Of course, investors' margin debt would be expected to rise over time in line with inflation and the underlying equity indices, particularly in a bull market. But some analysts still consider rising margin debt a sign of market froth or outright over-exuberance. REGULATORY EASING On top of all this, retail investors may soon get a helping hand from Washington. A series of what Bank of America analysts call "financial regulation policy-easing" measures are being lined up that will facilitate retail investors' trading in equities and other less-liquid markets. For example, the Trump administration is drawing up an executive order to allow retail investors to add private equity into 401(k) retirement funds. Media reports also suggest FINRA is considering proposals to ease the "Pattern Day Trading Rule" – which was set up to limit highly speculative trading practices – by slashing investors' minimum margin account balance requirements to $2,000 from $25,000 currently. Of course, with deregulation comes higher risk and lower protection for investors. But for now, retail investors are in the driver's seat and enjoying the ride.
