Morgan Stanley has issued a forecast predicting a decline in the US dollar's value, driven by the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain steady interest rates. According to reports, the bank expects the greenback to face pressure as other global central banks move toward tightening their respective policies. The analysts specifically target a rise in the Euro to $1.23 by the third quarter of 2026, marking a significant shift in currency dynamics.
This outlook emerges amid diverging economic indicators, with German trade balance showing a surplus of 14.5 billion euros per market data, contrasted by a US trade deficit of $55.9 billion reported in June 2026. While some peers like Goldman Sachs previously suggested dollar dominance would persist, Morgan Stanley’s stance highlights the impact of monetary policy divergence. This shift is supported by recent industrial production growth of 0.4% in Germany, suggesting resilience in European economies compared to US manufacturing trends.
