The yen gained 0.6% for the second day, pulling the dollar down to 155.105 yen. Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino's caution on yen impacted sentiments, with reports suggesting the central bank could slow purchases, potentially leading to a rate hike in July. Against the Swiss franc, the dollar fell by 0.2% to its lowest level since mid-March at 0.8938. Data showing a slump in US manufacturing and construction spending fueled speculation about imminent Fed rate cuts. The fluctuating dollar and mixed global economic signals are creating a complex environment for investors. The yen and Swiss franc's rally against high-yielding counterparts highlights a shift towards safer bets amidst economic uncertainty.

updates: The US dollar weakened after the ISM manufacturing survey showed a deteriorating outlook for the sector. The drop in new orders and prices paid subindices was seen as positive by Fed doves. Euro/dollar climbed to a 3-month high and the 10-year US Treasury yield dropped. The market is fully pricing in a 25bps rate cut at the November 7 Fed meeting.

Version 1.7 (2024-06-04 07:54:55.569000)

updates: The dollar hit its lowest level since March against the euro and sterling, indicating a softening U.S. economy and increasing the likelihood of earlier Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.

The dollar index was little changed at 104.08, while the euro rose to $1.0916. The European Central Bank is expected to cut rates at its meeting on Thursday. The Swiss franc reached its strongest level since March 21 at 0.8947 per dollar. The Swiss National Bank is less likely to cut rates this month due to a rise in inflationary pressures.

Version 1.29 (2024-05-17 08:59:46.265000)

updates: The recent downtrend of the US dollar has halted, as US economic data has not provided enough momentum for a significantly weaker dollar. Jobless claims dropped to 222,000 from a previous increase to 232,000. ING anticipates a potential stabilization in USD currency pairs as investors await the release of the April core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index on May 31. China reported a 6.7% year-on-year increase in April industrial production, surpassing expectations, but retail sales underperformed. ING expresses a lack of optimism for a recovery in the Japanese yen. The US economic calendar for today includes the Leading Index, which is expected to remain at -0.3% in April. Federal Reserve officials Chris Waller, Neel Kashkari, and Mary Daly are scheduled to speak. ING forecasts the USD/JPY currency pair to trade within the 104-105 range in the near term. The US economy is hinting toward a slowdown, evidenced by the unexpected rise in Initial Jobless Claims and a contraction in the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey. Softer-than-expected inflation data reported on Wednesday supports the idea that the Federal Reserve (Fed) might consider rate cuts sooner rather than later, weakening the USD. The recent economic data has raised concerns about the strength of the American economy, with mixed signals on inflation and retail sales. Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.3% month-on-month, marking the first slowdown in six months. Retail sales in April did not show any growth, fueling speculation that US economic momentum may be waning. The Federal Reserve's persistent concerns about inflation suggest that interest rates are likely to remain higher for an extended period. Market expectations have shifted, with predictions now favoring two rate cuts within the year. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is flat in negative territory, indicating weakening buying momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is exhibiting flat red bars, suggesting a lack of strong grip over the price momentum. The DXY is below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), indicating a short-term bearish tone, but remains above the 100-day and 200-day SMAs, signaling a protective floor ensured by the bulls. The US Dollar (USD) is the official currency of the United States of America and the most heavily traded currency in the world. The value of the USD is impacted by the monetary policy decisions of the Federal Reserve (Fed), which adjusts interest rates to achieve price stability and foster full employment. Quantitative easing (QE) involves the Fed printing more Dollars and buying US government bonds, which usually leads to a weaker USD. Quantitative tightening (QT) is the reverse process, where the Fed stops buying bonds and does not reinvest the principal from maturing bonds, usually positive for the USD. Today's US economic calendar features jobless claims, April housing starts, and the Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook index. These releases, along with speeches from Federal Reserve officials, could influence market sentiment. Retail sales and industrial production data from China will also be closely watched.

updates: The Japanese GDP contracted 0.5% QoQ in Q1, weaker than expected. The softer US CPI inflation data raised the odds for a Federal Reserve rate cut in 2024. The Annualized GDP contracted 2.0% versus the estimation of 1.5% contraction and 0.4% expansion prior. The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation eased to 3.4% YoY in April from an increase of 3.5% in March. The core CPI inflation retreated to 3.6% YoY in April from the previous reading of 3.8%. US Retail Sales showed no change in April from a 3% increase in March. Investors have priced in nearly a 72% chance of a rate cut by the Fed in September 2024.
