Brown Brothers Harriman’s Elias Haddad highlights a resilient US economy underpinning Dollar strength, with the DXY at new cyclical highs. Upward revisions to US Q2 GDP and strong Q3 estimates from the Atlanta Fed GDPNow model support the constructive outlook.

Deutsche Bank’s Early Morning Reid notes that softer US PCE revisions reduced expectations for an October Fed hike, even as the Dollar Index edged higher.

MUFG’s Lee Hardman notes the US Dollar has extended gains, with the Dollar Index reaching the June year-to-date high around 101.80, even as US inflation data softened. Revised core PCE figures show slower underlying price pressures, reducing the likelihood of aggressive Federal Reserve rate hikes.

The US Dollar (USD) is showing a moderately softer tone on Wednesday, weighed down by the recent pullback in US Treasury yields and some dovish comments from New York Fed President John Williams.

Brown Brothers Harriman’s Elias Haddad notes the Dollar has eased from recent highs as lower Oil prices and comments from New York Fed President John Williams temper rate expectations.

The US Dollar (USD) has accelerated its recovery, adding to the positive start to the week and clinching new multi-week tops, always helped by the persistent advance in US Treasury yields and unabated geopolitical concerns.
