The latest Producer Price Index (PPI) for the U.S. came in at 0.0% MoM, missing expectations of 0.3%. This suggests that inflation pressures at the wholesale level are cooling, which could signal a shift in the Fed's stance towards less aggressive monetary tightening. A softening in inflation reduces the likelihood of further interest rate hikes or extended hawkish policy from the Federal Reserve. This dovish shift typically puts downward pressure on the U.S. Dollar as investors adjust expectations for future yields. The DXY (U.S. Dollar Index) has already shown signs of weakening in recent sessions, and this miss on PPI may add further fuel to the bearish trend.
