US Dollar & the AI capex cycle

AI is reshaping corporate investment priorities at breakneck speed, with the US private sector pledging trillions in capital expenditures to power the next wave of innovation. Investment waves have affected currencies before, yet, for now, FX markets remain focused on near-term narratives and tactical considerations. Could this structural shift in AI spending redefine dollar dynamics, while domestic and geopolitical headwinds reinforce sentiments of de-dollarization?

In this episode of Barclays Brief, Patrick Coffey is joined by Research analyst Themos Fiotakis, Global Head of FX and EM Macro Strategy, to explore why currency markets appear to be operating in a parallel universe to equities. They also discuss potential FX upsides for metals exporters if AI-driven investment accelerates as forecast.
