The patching up of general economic health will help the USD recover. The US consumer sentiment index has dropped to 67.4, indicating a distasteful stance on the worsening US economy.

Version 0.17 (2024-03-12 14:21:22.686000)

updates: The Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decisions will be closely guided by a stream of crucial economic data, particularly focusing on inflation, employment, and retail sales trends. The central bank has signalled a potential reduction in rates pending more confidence in inflation easing towards its 2 per cent target. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) registered a higher-than-expected 3.2 per cent year-on-year increase in February, driven mainly by rising petrol and shelter costs. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy costs, only saw a marginal decline to 3.8 per cent, underlining persistent inflationary pressures. Despite robust job gains of 275,000 in February, concerns linger over wage growth moderation and its impact on inflation dynamics. The Fed closely monitors the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) for insights into labour supply-demand dynamics. Retail sales contracted more than expected in January, signalling a potential slowdown in consumer spending after a robust holiday season.

Version 0.14 (2024-03-12 10:20:54.459000)

updates: Bloomberg Economics predicts that the monthly report on US consumer prices, set to be released on Tuesday, will not convince Federal Reserve officials to lower interest rates. They expect the core consumer price index (CPI), excluding food and energy, to have risen 0.3% in February, with a year-over-year increase of 3.7%. However, they do not believe this will provide enough evidence of disinflation to boost the Fed's confidence to cut rates. They anticipate that the Fed may have enough confidence to cut rates as early as May, as inflation and the labor market cool further. Bloomberg Economics also believes that the spike in owners' equivalent rent (OER) in January was an aberration and expects both primary rents and OER to rise by a more moderate 0.4% in February. Falling prices for goods, particularly new and used cars, will continue to drive the moderation in core inflation.

Version 0.11 (2024-03-11 14:23:51.140000)

updates: Traders are awaiting the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report set for Tuesday to gain insight into inflationary trends in the US economy. The market's reaction to the report will shape expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions. The stability of the Dollar Index (DXY) on Monday is likely due to position squaring and profit-taking activities ahead of the CPI report. The recent mixed jobs data, which showed significant job growth but an increased unemployment rate, adds complexity to the Federal Reserve's rate decision. The short-term outlook for the DXY is leaning towards bearish, depending on the CPI data. The US Dollar Index is trading at 102.888, up 0.14%. The broader currency market is also impacting the DXY's position, with the Euro gaining strength and the Yen weakening. The intermediate and long-term trends for the DXY are down, and the index is likely to continue its downtrend unless the CPI report changes its course. The DXY's resistance levels are at 103.487 and 103.712, while support levels are at 102.853 and 101.950.

updates: Traders are concerned about a potential rebound in inflation when the latest data is released on Tuesday. The S&P 500 Index has been rising due to an improving earnings outlook and a resilient U.S. economy, but gains could be reversed if the monthly consumer price index shows stubborn inflation. Traders are looking for clues about the health of the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve's next moves. Financial markets are bracing for the possibility that the Fed will keep borrowing costs higher for longer than hoped, making a May rate cut doubtful. The last CPI print on February 13 showed the largest increase in U.S. consumer prices in eight months, causing the S&P 500 to drop 1.4%. The market is becoming more sensitive to inflation reports, and investors are optimistic that inflation is slowing but acknowledge it may take longer than expected. The upcoming CPI report is expected to show a 0.4% increase in prices from January to February, with the core CPI rising 0.3% monthly and 3.7% year-on-year.
