US Dollar (USD) recovered some of yesterday’s loss, S&P 500 futures are down after the underlying index hit a record high yesterday, and Treasury yields are up slightly. Markets are digesting ECB guidance and US CPI data, BBH FX analysts report.
The most recent leg of the dollar bear trend has been triggered by the soft US labour market. July and August NFP data have forced the Fed to reassess its assumption of a 'solid' labour market, and the Fed looks set to restart its easing cycle next week, ING's FX analyst Chris Turner notes.
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.15% lower around 97.60 during the European trading session on Monday.
