Forex Today: Steadily cooling US labor market keep US Dollar on edge

Here is what you need to know on Friday, May 10:

The US Dollar (USD) delivers a modest recovery during the Asian session on Friday. However, the near-term appeal is still uncertain as higher-than-projected Initial Jobless Claims (IJC) for the week ending May 3 indicated that the United States (US) labor market is struggling to bear the burden of Federal Reserve’s (Fed) restrictive policy framework.

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, rebounds slightly after tumbling to 105.00. Next move in the US Dollar will be guided by the April’s US Inflation data, which will be published on Wednesday. The inflation data will provide meaningful cues about whether the Fed will start reducing interest rates from the September meeting. Till then, interest rate guidance from Fed speakers will drive movement in the US Dollar.

The table below shows the percentage change of US Dollar (USD) against listed major currencies today. US Dollar was the strongest against the British Pound.

  USD EUR GBP JPY CAD AUD NZD CHF
USD   -0.06% -0.03% -0.11% -0.05% -0.16% -0.18% -0.06%
EUR 0.06%   0.03% -0.05% -0.00% -0.10% -0.11% -0.01%
GBP 0.03% -0.03%   -0.08% -0.03% -0.12% -0.12% -0.04%
JPY 0.11% 0.05% 0.08%   -0.03% -0.10% -0.07% 0.00%
CAD 0.05% 0.00% 0.03% 0.03%   -0.11% -0.10% -0.01%
AUD 0.16% 0.10% 0.12% 0.10% 0.11%   0.00% 0.05%

The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the US Dollar from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent USD (base)/JPY (quote).

In the Asian trading hours, USD/JPY rises to 155.66 even though Japan’s annual Overall Household Spendings declined at a slower pace of 1.2% against a contraction of 2.4% as expected by investors. Though the decline in the households’ spending was slower than expectations, weak consumer spending is unfavorable for Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) intention of hiking interest rates further.

EUR/USD holds gains near two-day high of 1.0780 as US Dollar comes under pressure. Traders have already priced in three rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB) this year.

GBP/USD holds’ Thursday’s gains slightly above 1.2500. The Cable covered BoE-led losses after a sharp fall in the US Dollar. The BoE kept borrowing rates steady at 5.25% as expected but its communication on the interest rate outlook was dovish. In the press conference, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey said the central bank could deliver more rate cuts that what market participants had anticipated. Out of nine-members-led Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) team, BoE policymaker Swati Dhingra and Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden voted for a rate-cut by 25 basis points (bps) to 5%.

Gold price looks set to close the week on a strong note. Spot prices rise to $2,355 amid firm speculation that the Fed will start reducing interest rates from the September meeting.

The US Federal Reserve has a dual mandate of maintaining price stability and maximum employment. According to such mandate, inflation should be at around 2% YoY and has become the weakest pillar of the central bank’s directive ever since the world suffered a pandemic, which extends to these days. Price pressures keep rising amid supply-chain issues and bottlenecks, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) hanging at multi-decade highs. The Fed has already taken measures to tame inflation and is expected to maintain an aggressive stance in the foreseeable future.
