Your Monday FX compass in central bank weeks – 5 May 2025
Central Bank Meetings. ⚪ USA 07.05.2025 Expected: 4.50% (unchanged) With its focus on the dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability the Fed seems to find itself still in a comfortable position: The unemployment rate is at historically low levels of 4.2%, inflation, albeit still not quite at target, is in check with the latest CPI figures at 2.4% (YoY). The only datapoint with a somewhat worrying touch was the GDP of Q1 at -0.3% which was much lower than the expected 0.2%. Anything but an unchanged federal funds target rate of 4.5% would be a big surprise.

When it comes to technology and innovation, is FX trading leading crypto trading or is it the other way round - who sets the trend? (page 20) Why is crypto a very easy market to trade for professionals from the strategy perspective, but the trouble is rather on the legal and the regulatory side?

Trends and Setbacks
QCAM MONTHLY August 2025: Trends and Setbacks. The USD rallied strongly in July before the disappointing US labor report stopped its rebound.
Mid-Year Review and Outlook
A mid-year check-in: The USD has lost over 10% YTD, and structural pressures may keep it under strain. In this issue, QCAM unpacks the drivers of dollar weakness and explains how our positioning has evolved in response.
Bad but less than feared
QCAM MONTHLY June 2025 - Policy uncertainty and surprises keep FX markets volatile, but the USD has stabilized at a lower level. The impact of US policy shocks is negative but less than feared. In particular, the risk of a recession in the US has declined significantly. The damage to US policy credibility has not been undone, but the nearterm outlook for the USD appears more balanced. ...
Launch of Fund: QCAM Short Term Fixed Income USD
After thirteen years of successfully managing USD liquidity for clients, QCAM has just launched a USD liquidity fund to a wider investor base that transforms the safety of sound short-term Swiss credits into attractive USD returns. The QCAM Short Term Fixed Income USD Fund (QCAM STFI USD) offers investors liquidity, superior returns and reduced credit and market risks.
Still foggy
The USD underperformed in Q1 but is still in the range pattern. Policy uncertainty remains too high to forecast a clear trend. In our view, pessimism on the US economy and hopes for an effective fiscal boost in Europe seem both overdone, while the tariff conflict has probably not yet peaked. As a result, we remain neutral except for long JPY.
First knock-on effects
The last four weeks have delivered more uncertainty and volatility as expected and yet there were still a lot of surprises. Particularly surprising is the retreat of the USD amid rising risk aversion. Is this the end of US exceptionalism and USD supremacy?
