Citi "expands the window for dollar weakening over the course of the coming summer"
Reuters reporting remarks from a Citi report published on the USD outlook earlier on the day.
Key Points:
The appointment of a special counsel to investigate Trump/Russia ties implies the better position is to sell USD
Looking for broad-based dollar weakness, not necessarily a concentrated 'risk-off' move
Focus on U.S. politics has heated up
The underperformance of from some small & 'risky' currencies represents a buying opportunity
More political uncertainty in the US will mean more USD weakness - it makes policy progress in the US less likely
