Quick Take

"QCAM maintains bearish USD stance despite October rally, viewing market concerns about JPY and EUR as overblown. Underlying USD weakness persists due to policy stability concerns and debt sustainability issues, evidenced by gold's surge."

Executive Summary

QCAM maintains its bearish USD outlook despite the currency's early October rally driven by expectations of Japanese policy reversal and French political instability. The firm argues markets overestimate JPY and EUR vulnerabilities while underestimating the USD's underlying bearish trend. Key concerns include loss of confidence in US policy stability, debt sustainability, and central bank independence, evidenced by gold's 50% surge this year. The BoJ is expected to act independently despite LDP leadership changes, focusing on price stability given public inflation concerns. French political turmoil, while creating near-term uncertainty, is not viewed as systemic risk given EU framework support. QCAM holds short USD positions against JPY, EUR, CHF, and SEK, with overall strategy positioning one-third short USD. The Fed's dovish bias and potential government shutdown risks compound USD downside potential, while stepped-up European infrastructure spending should support 2026 growth recovery.
