Via a note from Morgan Stanley late last week:

  • closed its short EUR/USD trade recommendation
  • prefers short EUR/JPY instead
  • expects the euro to fall due to a weakening eurozone economy
  • expects JPY to rise as US rates fall

On the USD, are less bullish, “Our conviction about dollar strength has waned meaningfully”:

  • “US data deceleration has compressed growth differentials, US rates have fallen further compared with peers, and investors appear far from defensive based on equity returns.”
