The U.S. market’s closure for Thanksgiving on November 27 has contributed to reduced liquidity in the financial markets, leading to heightened volatility in currency trading. The dollar is currently retreating from a six-month high set last week, with the potential for its largest weekly decline since July. Brent Donnelly, President of Spectra Markets, believes that investor strategies will shift toward longer-term horizons as 2026 approaches, and he advises against bullish positions on the U.S. dollar. His view is further supported by recent comments from White House economic advisor Christina Hassett, who advocates for lower interest rates. If appointed as the next Federal Reserve Chair, Hassett’s stance could potentially weaken the dollar’s value.
