US Politics – More drama than risk

Political risk is driving down currencies in Turkey, Brazil, the UK and Australia. Politics is undermining Italian assets and poses a threat to the EUR.  However, US assets remain largely unmoved by the US political and legal troubles.  Trump has proven his ability to operate through chaos and combat controversy.  Even if Democrats take control of the House of Representatives in November and move to impeach Trump, it is very unlikely he will be removed from office, and he will probably only feel emboldened to carry on.  The USD has reasserted its strength but its yield advantage has slipped, and recent US economic reports have lost momentum.  US equities have proven relatively stable to date, but the risk remains that the US economy, assets and currency a pulled back to the pack.  A strong USD will eventually be self-defeating, tightening monetary conditions in the US and globally.

Greg Gibbs is the director and founder of Amplifying Global FX Capital. Greg began his career at the Reserve Bank of Australia in 1989, and in the early 1990s, he was the first economics graduate at the Bank to be assigned to the foreign exchange dealing desk.  In 1996, Greg joined Bankers Trust Australia on the FX sales desk covering Australian and international fund managers. In 1999, he joined Westpac Bank in New York and switched to the research side to become the bank’s first FX strategist based in New York, carving out a role covering major currencies. In 2002, he returned to Australia as senior FX strategist at RBC covering APAC currencies, and in 2006 he moved to ABN AMRO in Sydney, reuniting with many of his colleagues from Bankers Trust that were again part of a thriving full-service investment bank. Greg continued to work on at RBS in Sydney as senior FX strategist after it took over ABN AMRO in 2008.  He moved to Singapore in July 2012 after the bank consolidated its FX business in Asia, and was appointed Head of APAC Markets Strategy for the bank in February 2014.  In early 2015, Greg began to work on establishing his own company, Amplifying Global FX Capital, and launched its website in August 2015 after completing duties at RBS.
