US dollar loses ground despite strong US macro data🗽
The U.S. dollar is currently losing ground against most major currencies, despite the release of solid production and consumption data.
- EUR/USD is up nearly 0.5%,
- USD/PLN is down more than 0.3%.
Such a market reaction may suggest that investors are increasingly speculating on the possibility of a more aggressive interest rate cut by the Fed than previously anticipated by consensus. However, this view may be called into question by the fact that no corresponding move is visible in U.S. Treasuries. Both Donald Trump and Scott Bessent signal that Fed should start lowering interest rates.
