October 24, 2024 (Globalinvestorideas.com Newswire) Globalinvestorideas.com, a go-to platform for big investing ideas releases market commentary from Joseph Dahrieh, Managing Principal at Tickmill.
The U.S. dollar retraced to a certain extent after reaching a three-month high as market participants await key economic indicators. This recent rally was led by expectations that the Federal Reserve could take a more cautious approach and avoid aggressive rate cuts. With a lower likelihood of rate cuts, the dollar has become more appealing to investors seeking higher yields, pushing the 10-year U.S. Treasury yields to a 4.26% peak before retreating.
The current U.S. political landscape is also supporting demand for the greenback, especially with the potential re-election of Donald Trump. His proposals for high tariffs and tax cuts raise concerns about inflation. In this regard, the currency and treasury yields could continue to react to changes in voting expectations.
Today, attention turns to the upcoming Initial Jobless Claims and PMI data. Improvements in the manufacturing sector and a stable labor market could provide a short-term boost for the greenback. A positive surprise in these indicators would likely reinforce the dollar’s bullish momentum, while disappointing results could introduce bearish pressure and uncertainty in the market.
