Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The dollar index held near a two-week high after U.S. October core inflation came in above expectations and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials reinforced bets on a December rate hike. Markets are now pricing a 25-basis-point increase and have begun to factor in the possibility of a larger 50-basis-point move. The data and Fed commentary together extended the dollar's global rally, keeping the currency supported as investors reassess the pace of policy tightening. The next focus is on further Fed guidance and incoming data that could shift the odds between the two rate-hike scenarios.
