$ RATE CUT IN THE AIR, WILL IT BOUNCE BEFORE THE DESCENT?
Updated
The recent decline in the U.S. dollar can be attributed to several economic factors. Firstly, recent inflation data indicates that inflation in the United States is slowing down. The annual inflation rate for June 2024 was 3.0%, down from previous months. This slowdown has strengthened expectations of a less restrictive monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. Investors now anticipate a rate cut in September, possibly followed by another cut in November or December, which tends to weaken a country's currency.
Despite positive data from the Producer Price Index (PPI) for June 2024, the dollar continued to fall. The PPI showed a 0.1% year-over-year increase, with a 0.1% rise in goods and a 0.2% rise in services, both better than analysts' expectations.
The critical question now is whether the dollar will rebound before further declines. We are in a crucial zone, and a short-term rise might occur before any further drop, but much depends on Powell's speech scheduled for Monday. If the Federal Reserve Chair hints at a rate cut in September, the dollar could take another hit. Conversely, if Powell does not confirm this expectation, the dollar might benefit from the positive PPI data and rise temporarily.
Be careful!
