Review of 2022 YTD
After a good first year, FX BIAS ran into headwinds in 2022. The Russian attack on the Ukraine was not anticipated by business surveys and the interchange of dovish and hawkish central bank decisions created additional volatility. The good news, a large part of the drawdown earlier in the year has already been recovered.
Expansion
Initially, FX BIAS was based on 8 currencies with one business survey for each currency. Last year, we already added 6 more surveys. Now we have expanded FX BIAS by two more currencies (NZD and NOK) and 8 more surveys. We also flattened the currency weighting to increase the diversification and stability of FX BIAS.
