HSBC analysts expect the US dollar to weaken despite recent gains, citing geopolitical uncertainty and a lack of visibility in the market. The dollar rose against the euro and British pound following failed peace talks between the US and Iran, but HSBC remains cautious, noting that the Federal Reserve is not in a hiking cycle. They highlight that the dollar's strength is partly due to the US's energy self-sufficiency, contrasting with the vulnerability of the UK and Eurozone to rising oil prices. Gold prices have also declined amid shifting safe-haven demand.

- The US dollar rose on Monday as failed negotiations between Washington and Tehran added geopolitical uncertainty, leading to a 0.3% gain against the euro and a 0.25% increase against the British pound.  
- Despite these gains, investor demand has been measured, with the dollar gaining approximately 2% against major peers in March amid rising oil prices and tighter US financial conditions.  
- HSBC analysts remain cautious about the dollar’s future, anticipating a potential weakness due to the Federal Reserve's non-hawkish stance and the need for clearer visibility in monetary policy.

Why does HSBC expect the dollar to weaken despite gains?

HSBC analysts believe that stocks can rally without a complete return to normality, emphasizing the importance of the global earnings outlook over geopolitical concerns. Their positioning framework is at its most bullish level since Trump's tariff rollout. They argue that even less negative news could support market rallies, citing strong consumer spending and retail sales as positive indicators. Analysts are optimistic about U.S. exceptionalism potentially returning, with expectations of falling unemployment and rising Treasury yields impacting various asset classes.

- HSBC's analysts assert that the global earnings outlook is more critical than geopolitical tensions, such as the Iran conflict.  
- They highlight a bullish sentiment for risk assets, supported by strong economic indicators, despite geopolitical concerns.  
- Analysts suggest that a decline in the unemployment rate and potential increases in Treasury yields could significantly impact various asset classes by mid-2026.

Morgan Stanley adjusts the target prices for HSBC Holdings and Standard Chartered to HKD 149 and HKD 195, respectively, maintaining an "Overweight" rating. It is expected that the performance of banks in the Asia-Pacific region will be driven by non-net interest income in the first quarter of this year, but the decline in HIBOR will put pressure on net interest income. Morgan Stanley anticipates that credit costs may be recognized earlier, and HSBC will set aside an additional USD 250 million in provisions. Uncertainty is expected to persist in the future, with the anticipated rate cut being delayed by one quarter

MAS is more on the side of &#34;fighting inflation,&#34; but will do so in a very cautious manner, rather than turning fully hawkish.In other words, it's less like &#34;completely standing on the sidelines,&#34; and more like gently tapping the brakes first, then watching oil prices and the Middle East situation.

market kinda resilient despite talks failed with no deal. probably will gain back or go above Fri closing later.

There is no point in trading the energy spike as the events flip-flops constantly. Staying out of this sector and just invest in areas within my circle of competence, like banks, REITs, Etc.

Firstly, I believe MAS will opt for a moderate strengthening of the SGD rather than implementing aggressive monetary policy changes tomorrow. It is challenging to strike a balance between controlling inflation and maintaining stable unemployment levels. Strong SGD is bad for export industry, especially electronic and pharmaceutical sectors.Lastly, I think the EV automotive, nickel, and solar panel industries stand to benefit from higher energy costs, while most other sectors are likely to be negatively impacted by rising energy expenses.

U.S.-Iran negotiations break down — Trump warns of possible limited military action. The U.S. Navy will begin blockading all maritime traffic in and out of Iranian ports. Oil prices surge.This alone is enough to cause widespread investment anxiety in the investment field. Cash is the king.

US Iran war is just noise, everyone should ignore the noise and engage in proper risk management. It risk of downside is worse than losing the upside.

US Iran talks do not seem to be going anywhere. Too many uncertainties, will be cautious while taking advantage of opportunities

RHB is correct, any supportive measure is not a permenant solution. There is only 1 permenant solution, which is open the straits. The international will needs to be stronger.

Too much uncertainty with stretched valuations. Market resilient so far but volume is tepid. Make whatever of it but I am staying cautious and defensive.
