Market attention yesterday was on the Jay Powell testimony to Congress. He said the US economy was no longer overheated and cited the risk of moving too early and too late.
“Elevated inflation is not the only risk we face,” he told lawmakers in Congress. “Reducing policy restraint too late or too little could unduly weaken economic activity and employment."
It was a cautious tone from Powell, but the US dollar did firm up a bit as it caught some bid from a three-week low. Markets are pricing in a pretty good chance of an interest rate cut in September and maybe one more by December. Powell continues today, followed by a 10-year Treasury bond auction.
The Labour Party continued to unravel its economic policy moves in the opening days of the new government – yesterday it was a £7.3bn national wealth fund designed to spur investment. Not to be cynical, but I've seen this kind of thing before, and I am yet to see much evidence it works. And, dare I say, is that it from Labour?
There is only so much you can do without spending – i.e. borrowing – a lot more. Pressure to spend more will come, though maybe not yet.
Meanwhile, Dyson cut 1,000 UK jobs on the same day. Sterling retreated a bit yesterday after hitting its highest against the dollar in almost a month, but GBPUSD is just about holding onto 1.28.
The RBNZ decision was a bit more dovish than thought. The central bank signaled much more confidence that inflation would return to target, teeing up a potential cut before the end of the year.
It seemed in marked contrast to the May decision, where policymakers had made sure to keep an additional rate hike on the table. The kiwi retreated after the hold.
China CPI and PPI inflation data was mixed. Consumer inflation slowed, whilst producer prices slowed at the slowest rate in 16 months. CPI rose 0.2% vs 0.4% expected, PPI fell 0.8%.
Japanese PPI rose to 2.9%, though the month-on-month figure was a little below forecast at 0.2%. The yen weakened, edging down towards last week’s four-decade low.
When considering shares, indices, forex (foreign exchange) and commodities for trading and price predictions, remember that trading CFDs involves a significant degree of risk and could result in capital loss.
