However, the future counts more than the present in currency trading. Traders are betting that German rates will rise faster than U.S. rates as the European Central Bank (ECB) starts paring down its monetary stimulus, as hinted by ECB President Mario Draghi in June.
German 10-year rates went up from 0.2 percent in January to 0.5 percent in July, while 10-year Treasury rates went down from 2.4 percent in January to 2.2 percent in July.
In fact, some traders are even betting that the Fed will have to reverse its rate hiking cycle.
"The U.S. recovery is stalling out now. Nothing is being done in Congress. We are not that far off, and the Fed is going to reverse," said Corrigan.
Corrigan also thinks U.S. stocks are relatively expensive compared to European and other stocks. "The U.S. stock market has become as expensive as it has been compared to other developed markets since we had floating rates. It is at the top of the range," he said.
Those are two good reasons for moving capital out of the United States and into other developed markets, like Canada and Australia. The Canadian dollar (CAD) gained 7 percent against the greenback this year, and the Australian dollar (AUD), 10 percent. Both countries have also recently started hiking interest rates.
"Commodities are going down, they are oversupplied, and you want to be long a commodity currency? It makes no sense whatsoever," he said. "The European Union getting much better is impossible. Italy and France continue to stagnate. Reforms that are being put to the market don't happen. The big issues like excess public spending, overcapacity, and the demographic problem - all of those have not changed."
He thinks that part of the dollar weakness is due to the world's critical perception of Trump.
"The dollar is going down because of Trump. But it's not true that the economy is going to take a massive hit from his policies. So far, they haven't even done anything," he said.
