Analysts expect a continued dollar-centric market where most G10 currencies move in tandem against the dollar, keeping dollar correlations high. However, they are bearish on cross-correlations (e.g., involving Sterling and Euro), anticipating greater divergence between non-dollar currencies, which presents an opportunity for investors.

When national debt grows too large, an economy enters "fiscal dominance." The central bank loses its ability to manage the economy, as raising rates causes hyperinflation to cover debt payments while lowering them creates massive asset bubbles, leaving no good options.

A recent global fixed income sell-off was not triggered by a single U.S. event but by a cascade of disparate actions from central banks and data releases in smaller economies like Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. This decentralized shift is an unusual dynamic for markets, leading to dollar weakness.

Due to massive government debt, the Fed's tools work paradoxically. Raising rates increases the deficit via higher interest payments, which is stimulative. Cutting rates is also inherently stimulative. The Fed is no longer controlling inflation but merely choosing the path through which it occurs.

UK Sterling weakened despite news that personal income tax hikes might be avoided in the upcoming budget. This counterintuitive reaction, paired with rising Gilt yields, signals that investors are more concerned about the government's fiscal discipline and policy uncertainty than they are optimistic about potential short-term stimulus.

'Fiscal dominance' occurs when government spending, not central bank policy, dictates the economy. In this state, the Federal Reserve's actions, like interest rate cuts, become largely ineffective for long-term stability. They can create short-term sentiment shifts but cannot overcome the overwhelming force of massive government deficit spending.

Canadian bond yields fell after the budget announcement, indicating the market had priced in a "risk premium" for a much larger fiscal stimulus package. The actual deficit, while large, fell short of these aggressive expectations, preventing further currency weakness.

When countries run large, structural government deficits, their policy options become limited. Historically, this state of 'fiscal dominance' leads to the implementation of capital controls and other financial frictions to prevent capital flight and manage the currency, increasing risks for investors.

In periods of 'fiscal dominance,' where government debt and deficits are high, a central bank's independence inevitably erodes. Its primary function shifts from controlling inflation to ensuring the government can finance its spending, often through financial repression like yield curve control.
