The dollar's failure to rally despite fading Fed cut odds and a 37bp firmer 12-month priced path reflects a still-stretched euro and yen short base absorbing the hawkish repricing through covering flow, not a dollar structurally capped.

- Stated probability the thesis holds

A dated research thesis and its assessment. This is not portfolio performance or an investment recommendation.
