Some snippets (full piece here at the link)

Australia's dollar is under siege

• from the election
• a trade war
• and a faltering economy

Nomura Holdings advocates a short position ahead of Saturday's general election

• QIC has advised pension-fund clients to sell the Aussie against the dollar and yen
• AMP Capital is equally pessimistic
• "I'd be long dollar versus the Aussie right now with something like the mid-60s a reasonable target," said Stephen Miller, an adviser at GSFM in Sydney and a former head of fixed income at BlackRock's Australian business. "If I were looking for ways to play the trade war, and with growth cooling, shorting the Aussie would be one of them."

Huh.
