The desk brief

A firmer DXY raises the USD funding value relative to other currencies, which can exert modest downward pressure on African local currencies and raise the USD cost of servicing dollar-denominated sovereign or corporate debt (for example South Africa's USD curve) if sustained. Short-lived, small DXY moves typically have limited transmission without accompanying US rate or risk shocks.
