US Open Note – Stocks push up and dollar index slips below 92.44  

Posted on September 14, 2021 at 1:52 pm GMT

Markets and the greenback’s reaction connected to US CPI data Today’s pause on market volatility seems to have been hinged around market jitters prior to the release of the US CPI data, which is somewhat seen as the key that opens the taper door.

Dollar might shrug off US CPI and retail sales data as markets lock in November taper – Forex News Preview

Posted on September 13, 2021 at 9:44 am GMT

With an end-of-year taper timeline fast becoming the market consensus, US inflation data on Tuesday and retail sales figures on Thursday, both due at 12:30 GMT, might not create the usual waves. Nevertheless, the annual rise in the consumer price index is expected to have eased in August and retail sales probably fell, which would reinforce the Fed’s go-slow approach, potentially hurting the US dollar if there are no upside surprises. Is the inflation surge easing? Inflation in America stood [..]

US Open Note – Wall Street could test bearish weekly close; loonie bulls gear after mixed jobs data

Posted on September 10, 2021 at 1:47 pm GMT

US-China relations hit the wires An overnight phone call between the US president Joe Biden and China’s leader Xi Jinping occupied the media on Friday. Not because of the market reaction it caused since that was negligible, but because of the potential positive implications the dialogue could have on the broken US-China trade relations in the future.
