As the Dollar Index navigates the 103.998 level, upcoming FOMC addresses and BOE Gov Bailey's speech are eagerly anticipated by traders.
In today’s financial landscape, the US Dollar Index subtly shifts, currently trading at $103.998, reflecting a slight decrease of around 0.08%. On Friday, the Eurozone witnessed a steady German Final CPI month-over-month, matching forecasts and previous figures at 0.2%, while Italian Industrial Production outperformed expectations with a 1.1% increase compared to the anticipated 0.8%, reversing a prior decline of -1.3%.
Looking ahead, significant speeches from FOMC members, including “Defining a Bank” by FOMC Member Bowman at the American Bankers Association Conference and FOMC Member Barkin’s address at the Atlanta Economics Club, are poised to influence market sentiment.
Additionally, the Federal Budget Balance announcement is on the horizon, potentially impacting the Dollar’s trajectory.
Across the pond, GBP/USD traders are awaiting remarks from BOE Governor Bailey at Loughborough University, which could provide further direction for the Pound in contrast to the Dollar’s performance.
