updates: US dollar weakens as Fed hints at rate cuts for 2024

updates: The US dollar has experienced a significant decline, reaching its weakest position since August, as the Federal Reserve (Fed) hinted at three rate cuts for 2024. This dovish stance from the Fed aligns with market expectations and has been met with enthusiasm from investors, leading to risk-on flows. The decline in the US dollar comes as US bond yields decrease and technical indicators point to a bearish momentum for the currency. The dovish pivot from the Fed has also weighed on US Treasury bond yields and the price of gold. The November Retail Sales report showed a 4.1% year-on-year increase, indicating a healthy job market. Additionally, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank have both left interest rates unchanged. Currency speculators have reduced their expectations regarding the strength of the U.S. dollar in response to a surge in demand for higher-yielding currencies. The demand for investment options that capitalize on the appreciation of the U.S. dollar has reached its lowest point in over three years. Investments that generate profits in the event of a decline in the U.S. dollar have seen increased popularity. The projected strength of the Japanese yen's exchange rate has reached a near five-month high. The Federal Reserve (Fed) has made a cautious shift in monetary policy, leading to the adjustment in expectations. The Fed has decided to keep interest rates unchanged for the third consecutive time, maintaining them at the highest level in 22 years. The era of significant tightening in U.S. monetary policy is predicted to come to an end, with a forecasted decline in borrowing costs in 2024. U.S. central officials acknowledged the deceleration of inflation and mentioned the possibility that further rate hikes may not be required. The U.S. dollar has recorded its weakest performance in a year. The Federal Reserve's dovish December pivot has boosted the case for the weakening dollar to keep falling into 2024. The U.S. currency has been largely range-bound this year due to resilient U.S. growth and the central bank's vow to keep borrowing costs elevated. Last week's Fed meeting marked an unexpected shift, with Chairman Jerome Powell stating that the historic monetary policy tightening was likely over. Falling rates are generally seen as a headwind for the dollar, making assets in the U.S. currency less attractive to yield-seeking investors. However, a faster pace of rate cuts could accelerate the currency's decline. The dollar is on track for a 1% loss this year against a basket of its peers. Analysts and investors are closely watching the dollar, as a weak dollar would make exports more competitive abroad and boost the profits of multinationals. An early December Reuters poll of 71 FX strategists showed expectations for the dollar to fall against G10 currencies in 2024, with the greater part of its decline coming in the second half of the year. The trajectory of the dollar could depend on how much Fed easing and falling inflation is already reflected in its price. Futures tied to the Fed's policy rate show investors factoring in more than 140 basis points in cuts next year. If inflation stalls and does not continue to decline, that would be a bullish development for the dollar.

updates: The Federal Reserve's unexpected dovish turn at Wednesday's FOMC meeting, forecasting an additional rate cut, shocked markets. This dovish stance, acknowledging slowing growth and rapidly dropping inflation, sent stock markets soaring, yields to December lows, and the US dollar tumbling. With the 10-year yield dropping from a high of 5.0% to 4.0%, the Fed's rate projections for 2024 are now significantly lower than previously anticipated. This shift, aligning with Governor Waller's dovish view, leaves the dollar's recovery hinged on potential inflation increases or similar dovish shifts from other central banks.
