US Dollar strengthens after PCE data release

The US Dollar experienced a slight dip at the end of the week, settling near 105.80 after hitting a high of 106.13 earlier in the week. This fluctuation comes after the release of Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data, which showed an unexpected deceleration in US inflation. Despite this, the losses were limited by the high US Treasury yields, indicating underlying strength in the American economy. The Federal Reserve (Fed) has not fully embraced an easing cycle due to the resilience shown in the US economy.

On Friday, May’s PCE data revealed a softening in headline inflation to 2.6% year over year, down from the previous month’s 2.7%. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also experienced a decline to 2.6% from the previous 2.8% in April. US Treasury yields have provided support to the Dollar, with rates for the 2, 5 and 10-year notes at 4.71%, 4.32%, and 4.33% respectively. The probability of a Fed rate cut in September has marginally increased to 66%, up from the pre-release expectation of 64%. Investors are now focusing on upcoming labor market data from June for further insights.

Despite the recent fluctuations, the technical outlook for the DXY Index remains positive, with indicators showing positive momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above 50 but appears to be pointing downward, suggesting a slight pause in bullish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates ongoing positivity, albeit at a slower pace. The DXY Index holds above the 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), confirming its positive stance. While the Index has been steady since mid-May, there is potential for further upside, with the 106.50 zone as the next target. In case of a drawdown, 105.50 and 105.00 will be key areas to watch.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) plays a crucial role in shaping monetary policy in the US, with the primary goals of achieving price stability and fostering full employment. The Fed adjusts interest rates to achieve these goals, with higher interest rates resulting in a stronger US Dollar. The Fed holds eight policy meetings a year, where decisions are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) comprised of twelve Fed officials. In extreme situations, the Fed may resort to Quantitative Easing (QE) to increase credit flow during crises or periods of low inflation. Quantitative tightening (QT) is the reverse process of QE, which is usually positive for the value of the US Dollar.

In conclusion, the US Dollar remains resilient despite fluctuations in data, supported by high US Treasury yields. The Federal Reserve continues to monitor economic conditions to make informed policy decisions. Investors are keeping a close eye on upcoming labor market data for further insights into the US economy. The technical outlook for the DXY Index remains positive, indicating potential for further upside. Understanding the role of the Fed in shaping monetary policy is essential for predicting movements in the US Dollar.
