The US Dollar gains along with Treasury Yields as the US returns from Monday’s holiday after hawkish comments from ECB official, Robert Holzmann, pushed back on bets against early rate cuts and warned that cuts are not guaranteed in 2024 against the fall in inflation and geopolitical risks.
Traders now look forward to Fed’s Governor Christopher Waller speech later today on whether there will be more repel for any possible rate cut in March. The US Dollar Index (DXY) currently trades at 102.96, up +0.68% in the last 5 days, and +1.60% YTD.

Euro is lower this morning currently trading around 1.0920 after ECB hawks took over the show last night, and any dovish comments made by Joachim Nagel were ignored. Germany, Italy, and Ireland inflation reports are due today.

In the UK, wage growth has eased once again at one of the quickest paces on record, but it is still likely to represent a threat to the Bank of England’s inflation goal. UK’s Sep-Nov. average wages without bonus rose to +6.5%, vs. est. +6.8 %. The sterling has lost on the data release, dropping as much as 0.5% against the greenback, currently trading around 1.2680. Euro-Sterling has advanced from yesterday’s low of 0.8587, to touch 0.8620.
