Forexlive Americas FX news wrap: PCE core inflation dips below 3%

돈되는 정보

Markets:

  • CAD leads, JPY lags
  • S&P 500 down 0.1%
  • US 10-year yields up 1.5 bps to 4.15%
  • Gold down $1 to $2018
  • WTI crude oil up $0.81 to $78.17

The market didn’t know exactly what to do with the US PCE report. On the hawkish side, the headline PCE number wasn’t as cool as GDP suggested it could be and personal income was strong. On the dovish side, the core PCE headline was soft and the six-month annualized numbers are below the Fed’s target. The market initially went both ways but settled right around the middle.

Bonds chopped as well but yields were ultimately led higher by the front end, perhaps in anticipation of a larger auction size announcement next week. That helped to spur the dollar modestly higher but it ultimately left the euro and pound just 7 pips higher and lower, respectively.

The yen was the laggard in part due to softer Tokyo CPI data last week. The market is also struggling to see global inflation and the thinking is that a rate hiking cycle is turning into 2-3 ‘normalization’ hikes instead, at best. USD/JPY rose above 148 and continued to 148.20 before settling back near the figure.

The loonie was a stronger performer, perhaps in part to TMX announcing plans for line-fill but mostly due to higher oil prices. Crude was volatile but late-news of a tanker being struck by missiles and catching fire in the Red Sea certainly didn’t hurt crude. USD/CAD fell as low as 1.3415 before bouncing to 1.3447 last.

AUD wasn’t quite as fortunate as China sentiment ebbed after the big mid-week rally. It’s a market that will need constant good news to shake off the malaise and today showed just how big of a battle it will be. AUD/USD finished slightly lower on the day at 0.6580 after hitting 0.6610 and forming a minor double top with yesterday’s high.

Have a wonderful weekend, the week ahead is a big one.
