Market Overview
In the early morning trading of the Asian market on April 12th, Beijing time, the US dollar index fell slightly and is currently trading around 102.14. The US dollar fell on Tuesday as investors waited for inflation data to further understand whether price pressures were abating and what this meant for further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
Consumer price data on Wednesday is expected to show an overall inflation rate increase of 0.2% in March, while the core inflation rate increased by 0.4%.
Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA in New York, said, Many traders are paying attention to this inflation data. Everyone is trying to understand whether the process of disinflation has resumed, and whether this will make the Fed's work more complex.
The Federal Reserve is considered likely to raise interest rates by another 25 basis points at its meeting on May 2-3, and then suspend the rate hike in June. Although Federal Reserve officials emphasize the need to maintain high interest rates to reduce inflation, the market is also pricing the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts before the end of the year due to expected economic recession.
The strong employment data in March increased expectations that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates again. Friday's data showed that employers added 236000 jobs, while the unemployment rate dropped to 3.5%.
New York Fed Chairman Williams stated on Tuesday that the prospect of the Fed only raising its benchmark interest rate once again, with a growth rate of 25 basis points, is a useful starting point, but the Fed's policy path will depend on the released data. Chicago Fed Chairman Gullsby stated that in the face of recent banking pressure, the Federal Reserve should be cautious about raising interest rates. He pointed out that a decline in bank loans will help quell inflation and reduce the work required for monetary policy.
In addition, a report by the New York Federal Reserve on Tuesday stated that the Fed will continue to be on the track to reduce its large holdings of cash and bonds in the coming years, and may face negative net income for several years.
