U.S. Equity Underperformance Suggests Strong Month-End Dollar Buying -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-25 23:00

1500 GMT - The underperformance of U.S. equities versus global peers in March suggests strong dollar purchases as part of month-end portfolio rebalancing, Barclays analysts say in a note. U.S. equities have registered sizeable month-to-date losses amid the ongoing Middle East conflict, which has driven safe-haven flows to the dollar, they say. "U.S. equity market underperformance dominates our month-end model due to its large market cap, and induces a strong dollar-buying signal against all majors." The bank's quarter-end rebalancing model indicates moderate dollar buying. The bank measures foreign versus U.S. month-to-date bond and equity performance to provide an indication of month-end rebalancing foreign exchange demand from portfolio managers who want to maintain currency hedges.
