Laurence Balanco, CLSA, says for him, the three big trades for 2025, which could have a shelf life of 8 to 12 months are Bitcoin, the fintech ETF where we can see a breakout trend and the travel tech ETF, which has also recently broken out. These are major breakouts from basing patterns that have developed over the past two-and-a-half years. How much more for the dollar before it peaks out? I understand that money is moving into dollars right now, but nothing lasts permanently. At 106, 110, 115, where will the dollar find its long-term peak? Laurence Balanco: Yes, it is an important level right now, 106 to 107. It has basically been the top end of the trading range that we have had since the late 2022 lows and if I look at the sentiment now for the dollar index, it is sitting at 83% bulls, that is towards the extended level where we have typically seen the upside momentum stall out at. So, this is a key resistance zone that has capped the upside over the past 18 months. We would look for some hesitation here at least.
