State Street strategists predict the US dollar could fall by 10% this year if the Federal Reserve cuts rates more aggressively than expected. Market expectations are for two rate cuts, but analysts warn that three is possible, especially if Kevin Warsh becomes Fed chair. The first rate cut is likely in June.
