Wonderful Introduction:

A person's happiness may be false, and a group of people's happiness cannot tell whether it is true or false. They squandered their youth and wished they could burn it all, and that posture was like a carnival before the end of the world.

Hello everyone, today Avatrade Aihua Foreign Exchange will bring you "[Avatradescn]: The US dollar index is falling continuously, and the market is waiting for PCE data." Hope it will be helpful to you! The original content is as follows:

On the Asian session on Friday, the U.S. dollar index hovered around 97.39, and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and pound on Thursday, falling to its lowest level in three and a half years, as traders expected the Fed rate cut to a greater extent than previously expected, triggering widespread selling of the U.S. dollar. Fed Williams presided over the meeting at the 24th Bank of International Settlements Annual Meeting, and Fed Hamake and Fed Director Lisa Cook attended the "Feder Listening" event. Inflation indicators will play an increasingly important role in the avaforexcn.coming weeks and months as policymakers and market participants are looking for signs of inflationary pressure brought by President Trump’s tariff policy. The U.S. personal consumption expenditure price index (PCE) inflation in May will be released on Friday.

Analysis of major currencies

Dollar: As of press time, the US dollar index hovered around 97.37, and the performance of the US dollar and US Treasury markets also had an impact on gold prices. The dollar fell to its lowest level since 2021 against the euro and pound, affected by expectations of interest rate cuts and rumors that Trump may nominate a new Fed chairman. The market expects the new chairman to be more dovish, weakening Powell's influence and thus pushing up expectations for interest rate cuts. Scotia Bank's foreign exchange strategist Eric Theoret pointed out that the dollar sell-off reflects market expectations for the Fed to relax its policies faster. Technically, the exchange rate has been below all key moving averages for two consecutive weeks (99.3438/100/100/101.8953/200/103.9032), showing a standard short position, and the medium- and long-term trend has confirmed to weaken. RSI14 reported 31.9112 close to the oversold zone, but no divergence was found; the MACD bar chart expanded to -0.1983, and the DIFF and DEA were dead fork and opened downward, showing the lowerThe momentum of falling is enhanced.

Euro: As of press time, the euro/dollar hovers around 1.1692, and the euro/dollar surged to its nearly four-year high on Thursday, continuing the rally for five consecutive days, with the pair breaking through the 1.1700 level for the first time since September 2021. Expectations that the Fed will cut interest rates earlier than expected push major currency pairs to annual highs of 1.1744 before falling back to 1.1697, up 0.33%. Technically, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching the overbought area, but the most extreme reading is currently 80 due to the strength of the trend. Failure to achieve a daily closing price above 1.1700 opens the door for the EUR/USD pullback. The first support level will be the June 12 high level 1.1631, followed by 1.1600. A breakout through the latter will put the 20-day moving average at 1.1514. Conversely, if the EUR/USD climbs above 1.1700, the first resistance will be a multi-year high of 1.1744. Once exceeded, the next demand area will be 1.1800.

GBP: As of press time, GBP/USD hovered around 1.3730, and GBP/USD rose on Thursday, gaining strongly for the fourth consecutive day and breaking through a 44-month high around 1.3770. The widespread sell-off of the dollar has supported the dollar's main relative currency, helping the pound hit its highest bid in nearly four years. Sentiment has returned to stability after a tense start to the week: easing of tensions in the Middle East and ongoing debates over trade barriers by the Trump administration have helped keep risk appetite at the high end. Technically, as the GBP/USD price quickly runs across the uptrend line and the price moves well above the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) near 1.3020, GBP bidders may be too close to the sun. The technical oscillation indicator is fixed in the overbought area, warning of potential callbacks.

Summary of news from the foreign exchange market

1. US Treasury Secretary Bescent asked Congress to remove the "899 retaliation tax clause"

The US Treasury Department announced an agreement with G7 allies, which will protect U.S. avaforexcn.companies from the impact of taxes levied by some countries. In exchange, the Trump administration will remove the "899 retaliation tax clause" from the "Big and American" tax reform bill. "The global minimum tax policy under the OECD Pillar II framework will not apply to U.S. avaforexcn.companies. We will work with other OECD-G20 Inclusive Framework members to jointly implement this agreement in the avaforexcn.coming weeks and months," Treasury Secretary Bescent said on Thursday. Based on thisAs soon as progress and consensus is made, I have asked the Senate and House of Representatives to remove the protective clause "899". This clause is mainly aimed at allies that implement digital service tax on U.S. technology avaforexcn.companies or participate in the global corporate minimum tax rate mechanism. Wall Street has previously worried that the policy would reduce the willingness of foreign individuals and businesses to invest in the United States.

2. The possibility of interest rate cuts in July is bleak. Many Fed officials tend to continue to wait and see.

This week, several Fed officials made it clear that it will take several more months to determine that the price increase caused by tariffs will not continue to push up inflation. Remarks by director Christopher Waller and vice-chairman Michelle Bowman, who is in charge of oversight, earlier attracted attention, saying they may support a rate cut at a July meeting if inflation remains under control. However, nearly 12 policy makers, including Chairman Powell, New York Fed President John Williams, and San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly, have poured cold water on this view. In addition, three regional Fed presidents have also hinted that they are not ready to cut interest rates at their next meeting. Powell testified in Congress on Tuesday that the Fed may have started to cut interest rates now if it weren't for the uncertainty of future price outlook due to tariffs, and the Fed may have started to cut interest rates only based on the decline in inflation. But there is no need to rush to adjust interest rates at this time.

3. Iranian Foreign Minister: Iran has no plan to restart nuclear negotiations at present

On the 26th local time, Iranian Foreign Minister Aragic said that Iran has no plan to restart nuclear negotiations. Aragic said that some speculation about restarting negotiations should not be taken too seriously. He made it clear that no agreement, arrangement or dialogue has been reached to initiate new negotiations and Iran has not yet formulated any plans to initiate negotiations. Aragic said that under the established policy, if Israel stops the attack unconditionally, Iran will terminate its response. Because Israel is the initiator of the conflict, and Iran only defends itself. Therefore, once Israel stops attacking, Iran does not have to continue its defense operations. Aragic stressed that Iran's position is not to accept the ceasefire agreement, but if Israel stops attacking, Iran will no longer continue its military operations. Aragic said that given Israel's consistent past record of conduct, it often unilaterally violates the agreement after announcing a ceasefire and tries to prevent the other party from taking response measures. But Iran is different from Lebanon. If the ceasefire agreement is violated, Iran will give a decisive and immediate response.

4. The EU summit did not reach an agreement on a new round of sanctions against Russia

On June 26 local time, EU leaders issued a statement on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Although the statement emphasized that the EU would increase pressure and introduce a new round of sanctions if necessary, including limiting Russia's energy income, it did not introduce a new round of sanctions against Russia as expected. Documents released by the European Council show that 26 heads of state or government of the EU expressed clear support for this. The statement also said that the EU called on member states to strengthen supply of Ukrainian air defense systems, anti-drone equipment and large-caliber ammunition.Give. The EU also supports accelerating the development of Ukraine's defense industry and promoting its integration with the European defense industry. The EU announced that it will provide Ukraine with 30.6 billion euros in financial aid in 2025, of which 3.5 billion has been distributed through the "Ukrainian Aid Tool" and 7 billion interest from frozen Russian assets.

5. White House: Trump will not make a decision on the candidate for the next Fed Chairman in the near future

The White House said that Trump will not make a decision on the candidate for the successor of Fed Chairman Powell in the near future. Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump may choose Powell's successor as early as this summer. White House officials said Thursday that a decision will not be made for the time being, although the president has the right to change his mind at any time. The official said Trump has several outstanding candidates to offer. Powell's term as chairman will not end until May 2026, so it is rare to select successors in advance.

1. Yixin Bank: The ECB is expected to avaforexcn.complete the interest rate cut cycle in September

Andreas Rees of the Yixin Bank Investment Research Institute said at a webinar that the ECB is expected to cut interest rates again in the current cycle. According to economists in Yuxin Bank, a 25 basis point cut in September will bring the deposit rate to 1.75%, "basically (the rate cut) is over." The money market currently believes that the next rate cut is more likely to be in October. Rees said that European economic growth is expected to be "quite weak" but will not slow down significantly, and inflation may fluctuate horizontally, hovering around 2%.

2. Institutions: The strengthening of the euro may prompt the ECB to further cut interest rates

Jane Fowler, a foreign exchange strategist at Rabobank, pointed out in the report that the rise in the euro exchange rate may prompt the ECB to further cut interest rates. Although the ECB has suggested its rate cut cycle is about to end, further sharp rises in the euro may prompt policy makers to tend to implement more rate cuts. The strengthening of the euro also poses a headwind for European avaforexcn.companies, which are facing pressure from "default-related uncertainty." Rabobank currently expects the euro to rise to 1.20 against the U.S. dollar in 12 months, after the euro is expected to reach this level within 18 months.

3. Institutions: The dollar may continue to be under pressure before the end of the reciprocal tariff moratorium

On Thursday, the dollar fell to a multi-year low against the euro and the Swiss franc, as concerns about the future independence of the Federal Reserve shook confidence in the robustness of U.S. monetary policy. From a market perspective, this will not only clearly weaken the Fed's credibility and independence, but also pose a risk to the U.S. interest rate outlook, Nick Rees, head of macroeconomic research at MonexEurope. These concerns put pressure on the dollar today. On July 9Before the suspension of "reciprocity tariffs" expires, pressure on the US dollar by Trump's team's remarks may intensify.
