[CBA: The U.S. Dollar Should Continue to Benefit from the Global Economic Slowdown] Odaily Planet Daily News – Joe Capurso, Head of International Economics at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), stated that during the Asian trading session, the U.S. Dollar Index remained stable above 98, with reports suggesting that the U.S. and Iran are seeking a new round of talks to end the war. He mentioned that it would not be surprising if the two-week ceasefire agreement is extended to facilitate more discussions. However, he also pointed out that the global economy needs to adapt to reduced energy supplies. Interest rate hikes will help align demand with supply. The U.S. dollar should continue to benefit from the global economic slowdown, as it is considered a safe-haven currency. (Jin10)
