This movement aligns with a broader shift in market expectations regarding the upcoming Federal Reserve decision on interest rates. The recalibration of market bets now sees an 86% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut, compared to a slim 14% chance for a larger 50-bps cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EMA (24, 24, 72) in the chart shows price action bouncing off the 101.645 level, indicating potential consolidation around the 101.7 mark. The MACD indicator reflects mild bullish momentum, with buyers stepping in around support levels. However, with the market closely watching inflation data, any softer-than-expected readings could further strengthen the case for a more moderate 25-basis-point cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although headline inflation continued to slow, marking its fifth consecutive monthly decline, the persistence of core inflation indicates that the Fed may lean towards a more measured approach in easing rates. Traders now await U.S. producer inflation data for additional cues on the central bank&#8217;s monetary path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dollar firm as inflation data douse bets for big Fed rate cut <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GaaMUx2kUj\">https:\/\/t.co\/GaaMUx2kUj<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U00is7Ox5S\">pic.twitter.com\/U00is7Ox5S<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Reuters\/status\/1834055633659711929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 12, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Elections debate swaying the U.S. dollar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent presidential debate has increased the probability of a Kamala Harris victory, which contrasts with the market\u2019s previous expectations that a Trump win would bring more tariffs and expanded fiscal spending, factors typically seen as dollar-supportive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The potential for a shift in fiscal and trade policies is keeping investors cautious about the dollar\u2019s medium-term trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Market outlook and opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For short-term traders, the current strength of the U.S. dollar could influence market sentiment leading up to the Fed\u2019s rate decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, political uncertainties may inject volatility into currency markets, so it is crucial to stay agile and monitor upcoming events closely to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/blog\/simple-strategies-for-trading-on-news\/\">plan your news trading strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a><\/strong><strong> and<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login\"> start trading<\/a><\/strong><strong> now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Start trading now \u2014 click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/trade-now\/\">here<\/a> to create your real VT Markets account.<\/b>\n\n<\/p>\n\n<!-- vt-src:14989 -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dollar fueled by smaller Fed rate cut bets following U.S. inflation data.
