Monex 2026 Year-Ahead Outlook: FX Markets and Hedging Strategies

Looking back at 2025, markets endured a tumultuous start to President Trump’s second term in office, alongside rising fiscal and geopolitical risks across the globe, even as most major central banks brought their easing cycles to a close. As we turn to 2026, we are updating our prior expectations and highlighting the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for FX markets.
