Global currency markets begin 2026 with renewed volatility as rate expectations shift and HSBC sees the US dollar entering a softer phase. Joey Chew, Head of Asia FX Research at HSBC, shares which G10 currencies could outperform, how Asian currencies navigate low yields and policy management, what China’s FX stance means for the region, and how the Singapore dollar fits into the picture. The conversation also explores gold’s rising role, asking whether it is acting as a hedge, a currency alternative, or both in today’s uncertain landscape.
