Motoki Maruyama, Managing Director at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), forecasts a 60% probability of a weaker dollar after the November 3 U.S. presidential election. A Democratic win could trigger a major fiscal stimulus, leading to a 'risk-on' environment and dollar sell-off. In contrast, scenarios like a Biden win with a Republican Senate or a Trump victory may strengthen the dollar due to anticipated political gridlock. Long-term, Maruyama predicts a general dollar weakening due to persistently low U.S. interest rates, impacting emerging markets differently.
