Decade of the Dollar at Imminent Risk as Uptrend Break Looms

The slump in the dollar is threatening to bring to an imminent end its near-decade-long uptrend against major peers.

Deutsche Bank’s Trade-Weighted Dollar Index -- a gauge of the currency against the U.S.’s most-important trading partners -- has fallen to test the trendline in place since 2011, a break of which would be an important signal for dollar bears. The index has dropped more than 1% so far this month amid weakening demand for havens, an ongoing rally in risk assets and a shift in sentiment toward currencies like the euro and yuan.
