It is more probable that Macron\u2019s political standing will diminish, raising concerns about France\u2019s debt sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the broader market, sterling edged 0.08% lower to $1.2752 but was set for a 0.3% weekly gain. The Australian dollar was off 0.18% at $0.6625, while the New Zealand dollar eased 0.26% to $0.6152.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, both currencies were on track to rise 0.8% and 1% for the week, respectively, driven by expectations of higher rates for longer and weaker U.S. economic data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data showed U.S. unemployment claims rose to a 10-month high, and producer prices unexpectedly fell in May, reinforcing bets that the Federal Reserve might start easing its policy in September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the Fed\u2019s hawkish tone at its recent meeting, markets focused on the softer data, boosting Wall Street to record highs and lowering Treasury yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/strong-nonfarm-payrolls-report-throws-rate-cut-timeline-of-the-federal-reserve-into-question\/\">Strong nonfarm payrolls report throws rate cut timeline of the Federal Reserve into question<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Federal Reserve\u2019s frequent revisions to its policy path reflect its data-dependent approach.
