US Dollar edges up in US session despite more weak data

The US Dollar experienced a significant correction after the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI), which indicated a return to disinflation. This trend continued with the latest data showing an increase in Continuing Jobless Claims to nearly 1.8 million. The US Dollar Index is flirting with a break below 104.00, indicating further weakness in the currency.

Despite the recent data pointing towards easing on all fronts in the economy, the softer CPI numbers have contributed to the depreciation of the US Dollar. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President have cautioned against market expectations of interest rate cuts, advocating for keeping rates steady for a while longer.

The US economic data for the week includes the Industrial Production, which has shown a stagnation at 0% compared to an uptick in Europe and Japan. Additionally, the weekly Initial Jobless Claims and the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey for May have provided mixed results.

On Thursday, a mix of housing, employment, and price data has been released, with Building Permits and Housing Starts showing minor changes, and the Jobless Claims showing a slight increase in Continuing Claims. The import/export Price Index for April and the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey for May have also been released, showing a decline. Amidst all this data, several Federal Reserve officials are scheduled to speak on various economic topics.

The US Dollar Index Technical Analysis indicates that the Manufacturing and Industrial Production data are affecting the performance of the US Dollar. Several support levels have been broken, leading to a potential decline to 100.00 if key levels are not regained. The 55-day SMA and other important levels are crucial for the US Dollar to recover.

Inflation measures the rise in the price of goods and services, with headline inflation expressed as a percentage change. Core inflation excludes volatile elements like food and fuel, which central banks focus on to maintain a manageable level of around 2%. Higher inflation usually results in a stronger currency due to higher interest rates, while lower inflation has the opposite effect by weakening the currency.

Investors traditionally turned to Gold in times of high inflation, but central banks raising interest rates to combat inflation have made Gold less appealing. Low inflation tends to be positive for Gold as it brings interest rates down. Overall, inflation plays a significant role in shaping the value of currencies and assets in the market.
