US Dollar Price Forecast: DXY Nears $101 Ahead of FOMC Meeting Minutes — Can GBP/USD and EUR/USD Recover?.
On July 8, the dollar, euro, and sterling were underpinned by different monetary policy settings and economic conditions. Core inflation has remained elevated in the U.S., meaning the Fed is disinclined to ease rates in any near term, keeping a more hawkish setting and dollar attractive as a reserve currency, alongside a strong economy and fiscal balance sheet.
The euro was hampered by heterogeneous growth across the euro zone as the ECB looks to keep inflation expectations anchored. Divergent fiscal settings and inflation rates in the bloc add to a transmission effect, making the currency more data and wage-dependent.
Sterling is caught between sticky services inflation and weaker growth, with the BoE weighing the labour market data and fiscal policy. The relative policy stance of the Fed, ECB and BoE is likely to continue to underpin cross-rates.
All in all, different inflation trajectories, fiscal positions and economic resiliencies will likely lead to two-way risk in the currencies, with other variables like trade balances and capital flows likely to contribute to currency dispersion.
