That speech was rather equivocal, ING’s FX strategist Chris Turner notes.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump dispute to move the USD

” While making the case that front-loaded (check out 50bp) rate cuts might be proper if the information necessitated, he appeared to be of the view that while the economy was still growing the case for aggressive rate cuts might not exist. After numerous revolutions, the USD and short-dated United States yields are not too far-off from where they began the day on Friday.”

” In regards to United States information today, we have NFIB small company optimism tomorrow and the emphasize of the financial calendar Wednesday when we see CPI for August. Another controlled 0.2% month-on-month is anticipated for core CPI. However possibly among the greatest market movers today is tomorrow night’s United States governmental dispute in between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Joe Biden’s bad efficiency in the previous dispute in late June presaged a swing in the surveys towards Trump and a firmer USD.”

” This all most likely indicates the USD stays in a holding pattern for the time being.
