JPMorgan: recommendations on major currencies

Analysts at JPMorgan claim that the rising energy prices have driven a wedge between the central banks that target headline inflation and those which prefer watching core inflation.

As a result, the bank recommends buying the European currency, though very selectively (versus Japanese yen, for example) trying to make out how much ECB tightening is already priced in its rate. The bank advises to stay long on currencies that appreciate due to the economic strength (Swiss franc) and remain short on those currencies where the economies cannot validate overblown monetary expectations (British pound).

JPMorgan also favors Canadian dollar versus its Australian and American counterparts.
