US DOLLAR RECLAIMS GROUND AFTER FED DECISION
US Dollar exhibited strength after market participants took in the Fed's decision.
Despite showing signs of disinflation, the US economy remains resilient, which keeps the Fed data-dependent.
The odds of a cut in September declined after the decision but remain high.
The US Dollar, tracked by the DXY index, lost ground on Wednesday before the Federal Reserve’s meeting but managed to clear losses after the announcement. Even though markets are strongly hinting at a rate cut in September, the robust disposition of the US economy may encourage Jerome Powell to request additional data before reducing rates, which could stimulate further demand for the USD.
Signs of disinflation are beginning to permeate the US economic landscape, affirming the market's belief in a forthcoming rate cut in September. However, the larger economy continues to depict strength, as underscored by last week's data surprises like the Q2 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and July S&P Global PMIs.
