US Dollar reaches highest point in May fueled by increased Treasury yields

The US Dollar continued to gain strength on Wednesday, reaching 106.00, its highest level since early May, supported by rising US Treasury yields. The highlight of the week remains the June PCE inflation data, which is set to be released on Friday. Despite a few signals of disinflation in the economy, the Federal Reserve has not fully embraced an easing cycle, reflecting the resilience of the US economic landscape.

Wednesday’s market movers included a decline in New Home Sales for May, falling to 619K units from 698K units in the previous release and below the 640K expected. Additionally, US Treasury yields are on the rise, with rates for the 2, 5, and 10-year bonds reported at 4.74%, 4.33%, and 4.31% respectively. Market expectations of a potential Fed rate cut in September stand at 60% according to the CME Fedwatch Tool. Thursday will see the release of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) revision for Q1, expected to hold steady at 1.3%, while Friday’s focus will be on the May Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report, a key inflation gauge favored by the Fed.

From a technical analysis perspective, the DXY Index continues to show bullish momentum with indicators such as RSI and MACD signaling further upside potential. The Index is currently trading above the 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), indicating a positive outlook. The next target for bulls is set at the 106.50 level, with the DXY expected to continue its upward trajectory.

Central banks play a crucial role in ensuring price stability in a country or region by keeping inflation close to 2%. Through adjusting its benchmark policy rate, a central bank can influence inflation, either through monetary tightening (raising interest rates) or easing (lowering interest rates). Central bank members, known as ‘doves’ or ‘hawks’, have differing opinions on the appropriate monetary policy stance, with the chairman leading policy meetings and aiming to reach a consensus. Members of the central bank are politically independent and must maintain a blackout period before policy meetings to avoid market disruptions.

In conclusion, the US Dollar’s recent rally, supported by rising Treasury yields, reflects the optimistic economic outlook in the US. With the focus on upcoming economic data releases and central bank policies, investors will closely monitor market developments for potential trading opportunities. As the DXY Index continues its bullish momentum, reaching new highs, it is likely to attract further interest from investors looking for potential profit opportunities in the currency market.
