FOREX: Very Contained Price Action Following US Inflation Data
Jun-10 17:06
- While the May US CPI report was fairly in-line overall, another weak core goods print has tilted the greenback into negative territory on Wednesday, with the DXY initially settling around 25 pips off the prior session highs around 99.75.
- Given the short-term bullish sentiment for the dollar, positioning dynamics might have assisted the moderate pullback today, sentiment was short-lived as Trump’s latest rhetoric surrounding hitting Iran hard weighed on risk and boosted the USD index back to unchanged levels.
- A similar lack of conviction was present for CAD as the BOC kept rates unchanged but leaned a touch dovish. The BOC appears to be increasingly wary of the growth vs inflation dilemma it finds itself in, with multiple looming risks stemming from the Mideast conflict and US trade negotiations. USDCAD remains around 35 pips shy of a key resistance point at 1.3967, the Mar 31 high, with bullish conditions still intact.
- GBPUSD price action was notable as greenback dynamics allowed GBPUSD to edge to a new weekly high of 1.3423. This extended the recovery to just shy of 1% from key support around the 1.33 mark, a level that was respected on Monday, however spot has since moderated back to 1.3390 ahead of the APAC crossover. EURGBP continues to hover above key medium-term support at 0.8610.
- Following EURUSD’s recent breach of 1.16 and subsequent rebound from 1.15 lows, the pair resides at 1.1550 ahead of tomorrow’s ECB decision, where the GC is expected to hike by 25bps. US PPI is also on the data calendar.
