Goldman sachs called on investors to prepare for a reversal in the dollar, which could fall 7 per cent over the next 12 months, based on expectations of a return to stable global growth. The benchmark U.S. exchange rate index, which has risen more than 4.3 percent this year, was even stronger in the second quarter, reflecting strong U.S. economic data and the federal reserve's readiness to continue raising interest rates, driving a divergence between U.S. interest rates and those of other major countries and weighing on currencies other than the dollar amid trade concerns. Still, Goldman's strategists, led by Mr. Hunt, said the dollar's underlying advantage would fade quickly, and the bank's indicators point to improved global growth, suggesting a narrowing of the U.S. growth divide with other major countries.
