EUR/USD - COMMENT-US Recap: EUR/USD Dips, But Dollar Fails To Hold Highs

By Robert Fullem  —  Sep 20 - 03:05 PM

The dollar index rose on Friday but had pared earlier gains amid lower Treasury yields after hawkish-leaning Fed board member Christopher Waller said he is a bit more concerned about inflation running softer, adding that he could imagine cutting 25bp at the next meeting or two.

Philadelphia Fed’s Patrick Harker said the U.S. central bank has navigated the economy well while Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman said she favored a 25bp rate cut versus the 50 bp reduction because inflation remains above the 2% target.

The euro was flat on the session while the yen fell broadly amid ongoing sales after Friday’s BOJ policy meeting.

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said AI and a more shock-prone world could make inflation more volatile.

The loonie finished lower in solid turnover after reports Canadian retail sales rose 0.9% in July while PPI fell 0.8% in August.

Treasury yields slipped 1-3 basis points as the curve steepened. The 2s-10s curve was up about 2 basis points to +15.5bp.

The S&P 500 eased 0.19% amid a period of consolidation after Wednesday’s Fed rate cut.

WTI rose 0.31% and was on pace for a second week of gains.

Gold rose 1.28%, reaching a record high during Friday’s session amid ongoing Middle East tensions and a stronger yuan.

Copper dipped 0.45%, pulling back from a two-month peak.

Heading toward the close: EUR/USD -0.02%, USD/JPY +0.94%, GBP/USD +0.21%, AUD/USD -0.0.09%, DXY +0.16%, EUR/JPY +1.01%, GBP/JPY +1.07%, AUD/JPY +0.93%.
