OCBC strategists Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong project the US Dollar will strengthen by approximately 2–3% against low-yielding currencies such as the Euro and Swiss Franc by the end of 2026, according to FX Street.

The forecast highlights a moderate appreciation trend for the US Dollar over the next few years, driven by differing interest rate environments and economic outlooks between the US and Europe.

This outlook is particularly relevant for Japanese investors and traders who monitor currency movements closely, as fluctuations in the US Dollar can impact Japan’s export-driven economy and investment flows across FX and equity markets.
