High beta currencies look vulnerable in the short run – ING

Source Fxstreet

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

We believe high-beta currencies are looking expensive in the very short run. The prospect of unstable risk sentiment and a Dollar leg higher ahead of next week’s PCE points to downside potential. 

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.
