Greenback Bounce Extends Into London Close

USD
  • The dollar continues to pare the week's losses into the Friday London close, with the greenback recovering off today's weekly lows printed against the EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD and others.
  • USD's bounce comes as an extension of the reaction following the bumper University of Michigan sentiment release: 1y inflation expectations came in well ahead of forecast (4.6% vs. Exp. 3.7%, the biggest beat on consensus since 2021).
  • Solid bank earnings likely a contributor for the USD upside also, with solid earnings and revenue posted by the likes of Wells Fargo, JP Morgan and Citigroup allaying any fears of instability among the biggest US banks.
  • The USD Index remains over 1% lower off the Monday high, but is paring losses, as short-covering adds to the dynamic.
  • 101.7975 marks the 50% retracement of the week's range, and would prove constructive for any recovery toward the 103.4456 50-dma.
