Disclaimer:
The release of the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge could further influence the market, particularly the dollar’s performance. The cautious reduction in expectations for aggressive Fed rate cuts, coupled with a stronger-than-expected U.S. economy, suggests that the dollar may continue to find support in the near term. However, ongoing inflation data from Europe and the U.S. could introduce new volatility, particularly for the euro and yen, as markets adjust to evolving economic conditions. Risk management is advised to complement these releases closely for further indications of market trends.
