The dollar will weaken as interest-rate differentials between the US and Europe shrink and the war in Iran curbs economic growth, according to Morgan Stanley.

The greenback, which has strengthened since the US and Israel attacked Israel on Feb. 28, is benefiting from being a safe haven and the currency of the world’s top energy producer.
