<ul>
<li>The market is pricing in aggressive rate cuts by the Fed, but the data does not fully support this expectation.</li>

<li>The focus on the Fed and US rates is important, but the non-US side should not be overlooked, as there is a stark difference in initial conditions between the US and other G7 rate curves. The rate differentials could lead to a convergence with the US catching up to other rate curves, resulting in a volatile and high-impact dollar trend.</li>
