If the Fed looks set to be on autopilot to the dot plot neutral rate of 3-4%, or if they are forced to walk the terminal rates higher in the dot plot, it could put a real squeeze on the financial economy and the USD shorts.

Is the USD bull market really over?
I wonder if the USD bull market is really over, the Fed is far from a neutral rate setting for the real economy if you believe there is some strength in the US economy and that strength should support a gradual wage-inflation cycle. That said with the amount of leverage out there neutral rates for the financial economy are much lower than the real economy. Potentially 2-3% lower. The world is still very short USD and the EZ problems are plastered over rather than rectified.
