- The Pound Sterling exhibits a strong performance against the US Dollar (USD). The GBP/USD pair moves higher to 1.2680 as the US Dollar declines after the United States (US) Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) report for May showed that price pressures declined expectedly. Annual core PCE inflation, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) preferred inflation measure, decelerated to 2.6% from the prior release of 2.8%.
- The expected decline in the US inflation prompts expectations of Fed rate-cut bets for September. According to the CME FedWatch tool, 30-day Federal Fund futures pricing data shows that the probability for rate cuts in September is 63.4%. The data also shows that the Fed will deliver two rate cuts this year against one signaled by officials in their latest dot plot.
- Fed officials continue to argue in favor of keeping interest rates at their current levels until they get evidence that inflation will decline to the desired rate of 2%. The Fed wants to see inflation decline for months before pivoting to policy-normalization.
- Last week, Atlanta Fed Bank President Raphael Bostic said rate cuts would become appropriate when they are convinced that inflation is on a clear path towards 2%. When asked about a concrete timeframe for rate cuts, Bostic said: "I continue to believe conditions will likely call for a cut in the federal funds rate in the fourth quarter of this year," Reuters reported.
- This week, the US Dollar is expected to deliver a volatile performance as the official ISM Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and employment data for June are scheduled for release. In Monday’s session, investors will focus on the ISM Manufacturing PMI data, which will be published at 14:00 GMT.
- The Manufacturing PMI report is expected to show that factory activity improved but remained below the 50.0 threshold, which separates expansion from contraction, seen at 49.0 from the prior release of 48.7.
