US recap: Surprise payrolls dip sinks USD as Fed cut pace quickens
Repeat with no changes
Aug 2 (Reuters) -The dollar index fell to a near 5-month low in Friday trading, -1.12% to 103.14, having added to overnight weakness after U.S. payrolls data came in well below forecasts, and revisions to prior data added to the growing dovish Fed expectations.
UST yields across the curve moved lower, with the bulk of yield declines in the front-end of the curve, exacerbating USD weakness, prodding the dollar lower still after durable goods and factory orders came in below-forecast which stirred a second round of USD weakness.
With the data hinting at falling employment and growth, markets have ratcheted higher Fed rate cut expectations and STIR futures are now pricing a 72% chance for a Fed 50bp cut in September, and slightly better than 50% odds for a fifth Fed cut heading into year-end 2024.
EUR/USD rose 1.14% to 1.0915 as EZ-U.S. rates converged after the soft payrolls data. With U.S. Treasury yield gains far outstripping bunds and other European bonds, the shift lower in Fed rate expectations boosted the euro as U.S. rates reprice considerably lower heading into year-end 2024.
USD/JPY fell 1.72% in Friday trading also aided by converging U.S.-Japan rates. LSEG's IRPR pages show odds for a fifth Fed cut by year-end 2024 currently slightly better than 50%, while the BoJ is expected to hike further in 2024.
GBP/USD rallied off support near its daily cloud top at 1.2706, rising to a post-payrolls high at 1.2840, with trading capped for now ahead of the falling 10-DMA at 1.2855 and recent highs in the 1.2860s.
Sterling strength may be fleeting as, depending on upcoming data, the BoE may take a more dovish tack should UK inflation and employment move lower. However, for now the UK's relative yield advantage over the U.S. should keep GBP bid.
Risk in general was well offered, with the three major U.S. equity indexes all down more than 2% as soft landing expectations have been dialed back considerably after today's downside payrolls surprise.
Gold backed away from Thursday's record high, trading -1.3% at $2,415, silver fell slightly more given its industrial use trading -1.9% at $28, as risk continues to unwind.
Cryptos were sold as well as traders cut profitable trades to offset equity and other portfolio losses. Bitcoin fell 3% to $62.6k and ethereum fell 5.5% to $3,000.
