U.S. Dollar Strength Will Persist Amid Disruptions

The U.S. dollar will fluctuate amid a variety of global and domestic disruptions, but it likely will retain or build on the strength it has gained over the past couple of years.

The U.S. dollar also will benefit as a safe haven for investors as Europe grapples with fears of terrorism and concern about a potential exit by the United Kingdom from the European Union.
