The demand for carry trades and yield is showing no signs of abating as traders remained focused on buying the currencies of countries that still plan on raising interest rates. This is why the US dollar has weakened across the board despite a sharp increase in import prices and a strong chain store sales report.
The minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting was hawkish, yet the dollar is struggling to rally. This tells us that those who want to be long dollars for carry and yield are already long while the rest of the market is more interested in countries that will be raising rates instead of leaving them steady.
