- EUR/USD falls slightly as the US Dollar (USD) rebounds despite the United States (US) ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) report for June showing that factory activities unexpectedly declined. Data also indicate that inflationary pressures in the manufacturing sector, measured by the ISM Manufacturing Prices Paid Index, grew at a significantly slower pace than expected.
- The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, recovers sharply to near 106.00. Meanwhile, investors look for more cues about when the Federal Reserve (Fed) will start reducing interest rates this year. For that, investors will focus on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech, scheduled at 13:30 GMT.
- Currently, financial markets expect the Fed to start reducing interest rates from the September meeting. Two rate cuts this year, against only one cut projected by Fed policymakers in their latest dot plot, are expected.
- Apart from Fed Powell’s speech, investors will also focus on the JOLTS Job Openings data for May, which will be published at 14:00 GMT. Economists expect that employers posted 7.9 million job vacancies, slightly lower than April’s reading of 8.06 million.
