FX StrategyEquitiesFXRates Govt BondsInformation Technology
The report analyzes the weakening US Dollar driven by cooling tech-sector outperformance and Asian currency valuations, while detailing a tactical outlook for JPY, AUD, and EUR.
Key Takeaways
- 1.The US Dollar is weakening due to policy uncertainty, a software sector sell-off reducing US equity outperformance, and strength in Asian currencies.
- 2.JPY's recent strength following the LDP election is viewed as 'too much too soon,' with a return to weakening likely if the BoJ maintains a gradual path.
- 3.AUD forecasts are being raised (to 0.74 in 12 months) based on RBA hawkishness and an expected hike in May.
