High beta currencies look vulnerable in the short run – ING

Economists at ING suspect high-beta currencies are at risk of corrections.

Room for a DXY stabilisation around 104.00 or a rebound already today

Today, the US calendar includes the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence indicator, which is expected to have plateaued in February. We see room for a DXY stabilisation around 104.00 or a rebound already today as risk sentiment softens.
