In short: "I am fundamentally bearish on the US dollar" — his top-conviction call. Fiscal gridlock, a likely impeachment fight and trade/fiscal chaos mark "the start of the sunset of the US economic hegemony"; a "long-term bear market" that a 2028 Democratic win wouldn't fix. Today's pop is noise; Jarvis sees devaluation over 5–10 years.
UUP rises when the US dollar strengthens against other major currencies. Rosenberg expects the opposite over many years: messy policy, looming congressional gridlock and political fights, and foreign governments and pension funds trying to cut their dependence on US assets. He calls it "the start of the sunset" of US economic dominance.
A one-day jump in the dollar doesn't change that for him — it's noise. This is his highest-conviction view, and his fund is built to benefit from it through gold, commodities and foreign assets.
32:59— And please, the US dollar had a pop today. I am fundamentally bearish on the US dollar. Mhm. — I think biding policy [as heard] is an absolute mess and now we're going to have fiscal gridlock. If you end up getting the Democrats taking both houses, there'll be impeachment proceedings. You can bet on that.
In short: "For the dollar index, my thinking is it probably is very close to bottoming in the short run… DXY could get up to 102 and 1/2" — the bounce coming out of the euro and pound rather than the yen. Beyond that: "thereafter, I think the dollar is going to start to roll over probably into next year," which "is a good sign for emerging markets."
UUP tracks the dollar against a basket of major currencies — the same idea as the DXY index quoted on TV. Newton thinks the dollar "is very close to bottoming in the short run" and can rally to about 102.5 on the index.
The nuance is where the strength comes from. He simultaneously expects the yen to strengthen (a likely Bank of Japan rate hike in September). So the dollar's gains have to come from the other side of the basket: "pretty good weakness in the euro and pound sterling as the dollar bounces."
Beyond that bounce he turns negative — "thereafter, I think the dollar is going to start to roll over probably into next year" — which is the same forecast that underpins his preference for emerging markets like South Korea. So this is a tactical long, not a structural one.
35:04And even though I think the yen probably does go higher, also. So, that means we'll probably have pretty good weakness in the euro and pound sterling as the dollar bounces. DXY could get up to 102 and 1/2. And thereafter, I think the dollar is going to start to roll over probably into next year.
