The Dollar Index to ease back towards 102 – DBS
Source Fxstreet
The USD’s near-term direction will hinge on US CPI tonight, especially after markets were wrong-footed by strength in non-farm payrolls, DBS’ FX analyst Philip Wee notes.
25bps rate cut would be more appropriate
“Consensus expects inflation to ease to 2.3% y/y, and a downside surprise could see the DXY index easing back towards 102.”
“Fed rate cut expectations have already been trimmed to just two more 25bps cuts for the rest of the year. The September FOMC minutes released overnight indicate that some attendees believe that a 25bps cut would be more appropriate, although only Bowman voted against a 50bps cut.”
