Overview

The US Dollar’s strong performance is fading, despite recent high US CPI and PPI reports. The market has largely adjusted its expectations for rate cuts to align with the Fed’s guidance.

More strong US data is needed to prompt the market to expect an earlier pause in the Fed’s rate cuts, which could also support the Dollar further.

Long-term US yields are expected to rise, supporting the USD’s recent uptrend. Additional positive triggers for the Dollar would strengthen buyers’ positions. Key events in November include October data releases and the US election.

For CAD, the market anticipates a 48% chance of a 50 bps rate cut at the next meeting. Today’s Canadian CPI report may confirm this cut if the data is weak; stronger data might lead to a relief rally for the CAD.
