Neuberger portfolio manager Joseph Purtell said the dollar may strengthen in the near term as US real interest rates rise. He expects the currency to break out of its six- to nine-month trading range, but added that structural risks, including US fiscal sustainability, could weaken the dollar over the longer term.

Matthias Huss, head of the Swiss Glacier Monitoring Project, said on the 26th that winter-accumulated ice and snow on Swiss glaciers are expected to be completely gone by the 29th as a persistent European heatwave continues. The monitoring project, which has tracked glacier mass loss since 2000, records the date as roughly three months earlier than normal and second only to June 26, 2022. After inspecting the Rhone Glacier, Huss called the melt “shocking,” noting about 1 metre of ice thickness lost in 10 days. He said precise measurements will be available in September but that “substantial reduction this year is certain,” and warned sustained high temperatures, not single heatwaves, drive prolonged loss of alpine glacier volume.
