Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
MUFG argues Asia FX can outperform in the near term, favoring tech-linked TWD and KRW, then MYR and SGD, as strong AI exports and a less acute regional diesel supply picture support resilience. European political and fiscal risks dominate EUR, prompting a switch of the existing sell USD/TWD idea to sell EUR/TWD to reduce carry cost; the prior pay INR 5y NDOIS idea is closed ahead of the RBI meeting.

Key arguments
- Asian currencies have been more resilient than others, helped by strong AI exports and a less acute regional diesel supply situation.
- MUFG likes tech-linked TWD and KRW, and to a smaller extent MYR and SGD, expecting dispersion across key pairs.
- European political and fiscal risks dominate the EUR outlook, making selling EUR against TWD or KRW sensible near term.
- The existing sell USD/TWD trade is switched to sell EUR/TWD for lower carry, while the pay INR 5y NDOIS trade is closed before the RBI meeting.

CHART 1: EUR HAS UNDERPERFORMED WITH HIGHER FISCAL AND POLITICAL RISKS DOMINATING MARKETS Source: Bloomberg, MUFG GMR estimates.
We have an existing trade idea to sell USD/TWD, and we now like switching to EUR as the funding currency instead in part to lower the cost of carry (sell EUR/TWD) (see Why US yields matter for Asia ).
We close out our existing idea of Paying INR 5y NDOIS (Entry 6.4767%, current spot 6.744%) ahead of RBI ’s policy meeting tomorrow (see Pay INR rates post RBI minutes ).
