1404 GMT - The dollar is still likely to weaken this year even if the Federal Reserve refrains from cutting interest rates, TD Securities strategists say in a note. With the U.S. and Iran in a stalemate and oil prices remaining high, TD no longer expects the Fed to cut rates in 2026, instead anticipating steady rates. "Nonetheless, we would still maintain a downward forecast path for the dollar in 2026." Even if the Fed pivots to rate rises, it won't raise rates as much as other central banks, they say. Once the Strait of Hormuz reopens, the strategists expect the DXY dollar index to fall sustainably below 98.000, from 98.656 currently. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
