The IMF said in its article that evidence points to a turn in the strong-dollar cycle, which has been an important tailwind for U.S. equities over the past decade and a half.“Expectations of further weakening have driven up the demand for, and the price of, hedging dollar exposures, making the tailwind a headwind. A weaker dollar also increases the relative attractiveness of emerging market and developing economies and has been a strong driver of their significant outperformance since early last year,” it said.&nbsp;A&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/us-dollar-strength-fizzle-fx-forecasters-unmoved-by-searing-rally-2026-10-02/">Reuters poll</a> from last week also indicated that the greenback is set to give up most of its recent gains over the coming year, based on FX strategists polled.&nbsp;While a 80% majority reportedly said that the U.S. dollar ‌was likelier to beat their three-month forecasts than fall short, the FX strategists still held on to their bearish view in the latest poll.&nbsp;"The dollar can remain a little bit on the stronger side in the very near term....But beyond that ​in a six-month to one-year horizon, we are still in a bearish-dollar regime," Jayati Bharadwaj, head of FX strategy at TD Securities, reportedly told Reuters.&nbsp;Last week, J.P.Morgan Asset Management said in a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://am.jpmorgan.com/gb/en/asset-management/adv/insights/portfolio-insights/fixed-income/chart-of-the-month-sept-2026/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">report</a> that it sees potential for a broad-based decline in the U.S. dollar against other G10 currencies.&nbsp;“Increased domestic spending by the public and private sectors, the global AI capex build-out and the lofty valuation of the US dollar all support our fixed income team’s view that the greenback could weaken from here,” it said.&nbsp;However, it added that a further increase in energy prices amid the U.S.-Iran war and the choked Strait of Hormuz could lead to renewed dollar strength.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Should Investors Refrain From Investing In The US?</h2>Experts largely believe international equities offer more diversified returns at present than U.S. equities, given the concentration risk.&nbsp;The IMF pointed out that in the last three years, just seven companies have accounted for 55% of total S&amp;P 500 returns, mostly due to the AI boom, while the top 10 companies presently make up 40% of the index. “This is not broad-based growth, but a narrow and increasingly fragile bet on a single sector in a single economy,” it said.&nbsp;However, it said that this did not automatically require “a sudden rush for the exit” or a “sell America” trade.&nbsp;“The sensible question is not whether investors should own US assets, but how much they should own. When expected returns fall, and risks rise, the logic of reallocation becomes inevitable for institutional investors bound by a fiduciary duty to invest money wisely—aiming for the highest possible return without taking unnecessary risk,” it said.&nbsp;Meanwhile, State Street Investment Management, in a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ssga.com/pt/en_gb/institutional/insights/mind-on-the-market-07-september-2026?">report</a> last month, stressed the importance of diversification as correlation between the U.S. and major international markets has been declining.&nbsp;“Macroeconomic drivers such as inflation and monetary policy, as well as local experiences of global phenomena (supply shocks, tech growth) can create dispersed outcomes across countries,” State Street said.&nbsp;“The combination is expanding the opportunity set outside the US. While regional performance is becoming more differentiated, AI remains a shared catalyst across many markets, allowing investors to broaden their geographic exposures without losing access to a defining structural growth trend.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">US Vs International Equities: Retail Stance</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around SPY was ‘bullish’ at the time of writing, while it was ‘extremely bullish’ for QQQ and DIA.&nbsp;One user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/FullThrottleTrading/message/665732790">said</a>, “$SPY just open the throttle. Markets bullish right up until Midterms.”Meanwhile, retail sentiment for EWT and IEMG was ‘neutral’ at the time of writing, while it was ‘bearish’ for EWY and DXJ.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
