“Fed Governor Bowman says additional rate hike could be needed if inflation stays high
Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman said Friday that it’s possible interest rates may have to move higher to control inflation,… ”
and bowman is not – NOT – near much less at top – of pecking order
Expecting Dxy 104.25 to hold and catch a bid heading into next week barring something dramatic. So sell Eur and Gbp on bid waves is what I expect. Fundamentals could change that equation of course.
See Usd/Cad being a bit under pressure remainder of month and Gbp/Usd likely trying to hold a bid remainder of month. Aud/Usd is dropping but Aud/Cad is not, will be testing the buy side at or just under 8900 Aud/Cad if it catches the offer and gets there (likely will not occur until next week). Fundamentals reasonably support.
Will try the sell side of Usd/Cad 3639 if seen, had an order up there but no fill. See 3580 being tested possibly early next week of sooner (not likely).
Lightly entertaining the bid in EurUsd just under the figure, zero apprehension to cut close or reverse. Probabilities favor it holding albeit even if temporarily in my view.
Of note, EurJpy still holds an overall bid even though we have seen solid sell waves this week so it could stabilize around current levels. Regardless, my preference is the sell side on buy waves.
EURO 1.08
–
Beyond 5-min or 5-pip frames I am euro-bullish (as I think bigger fish are also positioned thusly atm)
Price-action around 1.08 should see good support.
IF puppy closes above 1.08 the reaction from 1.084x will be erased
