Fundamental Overview

The US Dollar has been supported due to a lack of catalysts, despite a slowdown in momentum. Key economic data, the FOMC decision, and the US elections in early November are now anticipated by the market.

There is a belief that markets are preparing for a Trump victory, which could strengthen the USD. However, not all markets share this view.

The Canadian CPI report missed expectations, leading to an expected 50 bps rate cut at the upcoming meeting. The market now sees high chances of further rate cuts in December and beyond.
