📉 Deutsche Bank: Treasury buyback is bad for dollar

Deutsche Bank believes the surprise increase in US Treasury buybacks signals financial repression, which negatively impacts the dollar.

Since Treasury prices can't fall, the dollar must weaken for foreign holders to absorb the price change. The bank suggests Fed Chair Warsh acknowledging this dynamic is crucial to prevent further dollar weakness. 📉
