PBOC Surprise Rate Cut and a Strong UK Labor Market Report Ahead of US CPI
Overview: A surprise cut in China's seven-day repo
and a stronger than expected UK employment report are session's highlights
ahead of the US CPI. The base effect alone suggests a sharp fall in the
year-over-year rate, while the median forecast in Bloomberg's survey has been
shaved to a 0.1% month-over-month gain. The dollar is under pressure and is
weaker against nearly all the G10 currencies. It is mixed against the emerging
market currencies....

This week’s Fed rate hike decision. Complacency Could Spell Danger. But Also OPPORTUNITY.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) has raised interest rates 10 times since March 2022. The target range for the federal funds rate is currently 5.00% to 5.25%. The probability of a rate hike in the next meeting is low, at 18.6%. However, there have been instances in the past where the Fed has surprised markets by raising rates even when the probability of a rate hike was low. If the Fed does surprise markets by raising rates, it could lead to a sell-off in...

US CPI, Fed, ECB, BOJ and the Week Ahead
Of the three G3 central banks
that meet in the days ahead, the market is the most confident of a rate hike by
the European Central Bank. The market sees a hawkish hold from the Federal
Reserve. However, the idea of a skip, a topic which even Fed officials have
broached, would seem to pre-commit to another hike, and this is not typically
the central bank's modus operandi. Moreover, it may be difficult for the Fed to
resume hikes in July if inflation...

Dollar Stabilizes Ahead of the Weekend
Overview: Long US dollar positions were pared yesterday as rates unwound the
gains scored in the wake of the Bank of Canada's surprise hike on Wednesday. It
is consolidating today as the market looks toward next week’s central bank
meetings (FOMC, ECB, and BOJ) and a flurry of data. It is also possible that
China shaves the benchmark one-year medium-term lending facility rate. Broadly
speaking the greenback is still tracking rates, and the more...
