USD: Inflation actuality can have lasting impact – ING

The US Greenback (USD) had one of the best day in a month yesterday, hitting a three-week excessive after the US CPI launch. The Treasury-off, dollar-on is admittedly not probably the most intuitive response to a core CPI month-on-month print 0.1% beneath consensus and the headline charge consistent with expectations at 0.3% MoM, ING’s FX analyst Francesco Pesole notes

Fed is talking at present

“That’s, nonetheless, justified by how markets had been (earlier than CPI) sitting on a dovish stance that was backed extra by hypothesis that US President Donald Trump’s stress would have in the end permeated the FOMC, slightly than information or Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s communication. A materially cooler-than-expected inflation print was wanted for these dovish bets to be validated. We count on, consistent with financial consensus, that there’s extra to be seen when it comes to tariff influence on inflation within the subsequent three months. From right here, markets ought to have a more durable time justifying bets on a September reduce until jobs information capitulates.”

“From the FX angle, it’s fairly seemingly {that a} stretched greenback quick positioning triggered a barely outsized USD bounce. However yesterday’s actuality verify on Fed cuts hypothesis may have an enduring impact by elevating the bar for dovish repricing, and we subsequently really feel the dangers stay skewed to a stronger greenback from right here. In any case, markets are nonetheless pricing in 14bp for the September Fed assembly.”

“Some additional readability on the inflation story will include PPI information at present. Count on markets to maneuver on any shock, though consensus is already positioned for a comparatively benign 0.2% MoM print on headline and core PPI. Traders could take some hints from the Fed’s Beige E book launched tonight, which provides priceless insights into regional inflation and exercise traits. We’ll additionally hear the previous couple of feedback from Fed officers earlier than the blackout interval begins on 19 July. Right this moment, Lorie Logan, Thomas Barkin, Beth Hammack, Raphael Bostic, and John Williams are all resulting from communicate. We doubt yesterday’s numbers have been sufficient to set off any dovish shift of their coverage views.”
