Abstract:As of December 30, 2024, the US Dollar Index is hovering around a relatively high level of 108. So, can the Dollar Index continue to rise in 2025? Overall, there is still a possibility for the dollar to appreciate, but it also faces several uncertain factors that could affect its trajectory.
The first key factor to watch is the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, which is the core driver of the dollar's movement. If the Fed continues to raise interest rates in 2025, the dollar could strengthen further.
In 2024, the Fed kept interest rates close to 5%, which has helped maintain the dollar's strong position in the global market. Between 2015 and 2018, the Fed's consecutive rate hikes caused the Dollar Index to rise by about 25%. If the Fed maintains or raises interest rates in 2025, the demand for the dollar could increase, driving the Dollar Index higher.
Next, the performance of the US economy is crucial. If the US economy continues to grow, particularly with active consumption and investment, the dollar is likely to benefit. For example, in 2023, the US economy grew by over 2%, and the unemployment rate stayed below 4%. In a strong economic environment, the dollar tends to attract more foreign investment, further increasing demand for the dollar. In 2021, the strong economic recovery in the US, fueled by government stimulus and increased consumer spending, made the dollar more attractive globally.
Geopolitical risks are also an important factor supporting the dollar. In particular, if the Eurozone and China continue to experience slow economic growth, the dollar may continue to benefit from inflows of capital.
Additionally, fluctuations in global commodity prices also play a significant role in driving dollar demand. In 2024, the continued rise in oil prices boosted demand for the dollar. Since global oil transactions are primarily denominated in US dollars, rising oil prices tend to increase demand for the dollar. If commodity prices (such as oil and metals) continue to rise in 2025, the demand for the dollar could increase, pushing the Dollar Index higher.
In conclusion, there is still room for the Dollar Index to rise in 2025. As the currency of the worlds largest economy, the dollar continues to attract investors seeking a safe haven, giving it significant potential for further appreciation. However, there are always two sides to the coin—global economic changes and inflationary pressures in the US will remain key factors influencing the dollar's trajectory. Therefore, investors should closely monitor these factors to better navigate the future movements of the dollar.
