| | | AtlasFX Quarter in Review | | Entering the second half of 2021, we are all anxious to put Covid-19 behind us and get back to as close to normal as possible, as soon as possible. The recent developments with the Delta variant may be slowing that down to some degree, but most economies around the globe are showing substantial growth, and substantial inflationary pressures. Central banks around the world are trying to convince everyone that the inflationary pressures are transitory, since they don’t have a realistic ability to raise rates significantly to fight inflation, due to the high levels of public debt. How that plays out on a relative basis over the next several months and quarters could have a significant impact on foreign exchange levels, which have been largely range-bound amongst the major currencies so far in 2021.
FX Risk managers, many of whom are currently understaffed, need to focus on adapting to the changing business environment, improving their FX exposure forecasting, and making sure their hedging strategies are appropriate for what lies ahead.
