The US Dollar measured by the DXY Index plunges to a seven-month low amidst declining Treasury yields.
Investors turn their gaze toward Powell's forthcoming address at Jackson Hole for further cues on subsequent Fed rate cuts.
A September cut is almost a done deal, based on interest rate bets.
The US Dollar, benchmarked by the US Dollar Index (DXY), recorded a seven-month low, in correspondence with a falling trend in Treasury yields and intense dovish bets on the Federal Reserve (Fed). In response to the circulating sentiment built around Chair Jerome Powell's forthcoming statements at the Jackson Hole assembly that begins on Thursday, market investors are focusing on potential disclosures regarding future Fed rate cuts.
Despite this evolution, the US economic outlook remains resilient. Comprehensive scrutiny of recent data consolidates the fact that the US economy still persists in growing above its trend. This indicates a recurrent market narrative inclined toward the anticipation of aggressive loosening in monetary policy.
