The theme holds that a prolonged fall in the US dollar, alongside cheaper valuations abroad, would lift returns on foreign stocks and other non-dollar assets for US investors. Of the 49 houses covering it, 37 argue for the thesis, citing factors such as Treasury actions to cap yields, fading safe-haven support and an expensive dollar, while 10 are against and 2 are mixed. The main counter-argument is that safe-haven demand and resilient US growth could keep the dollar supported, and houses in favour have fewer by 6 over the past 30 days.
