EM FX vs. DXY correlation breaking down?

asked by u/marco_w · 5d · 1 answers

It feels like the usual EM currency reaction to DXY strength/weakness has been less predictable lately. We're seeing more idiosyncratic moves based on local policy and less of a broad-brush effect. Am I missing something, or are the old correlations getting weaker? Push back if you disagree.

    I've noticed this too, especially with some of the Latin American currencies. It seems like the market is getting better at pricing in country-specific risk and opportunities rather than just reacting to the broader dollar index. Definitely an interesting shift.
