Dollar at Risk of Renewed Falls if Fed Leave Rates Steady
Dow Jones07-16 21:57
1357 GMT - The dollar faces renewed weakness as this week's lower-than-forecast U.S. inflation data support the case for the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates steady this year, MUFG Bank's Lee Hardman says in a note. This argument is also supported by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's comments Wednesday that AI investments aren't necessarily inflationary, he says. "The comments indicate a willingness to be patient with sources of inflation that he believed to be temporary, including demand from AI investment." The DXY dollar index rises 0.1% to 100.599.
