Obama Dollar Rally Is Forecast to Join Clinton, Reagan Upturns

  • U.S. currency projected to strengthen versus most major peers
  • Already the third-longest sustained greenback rally since 1971

After three straight years of gains, strategists are forecasting the U.S. currency will be a world beater again in 2016, strengthening against seven of 10 developed-world peers by the end of the year, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. That outlook is backed by the Federal Reserve’s stated intent to continue raising interest rates while peers in the rest of the world keep them flat or lower.
