Strengthening Dollar Hampered by Powel Comments about Interest Rate

by Didimax Team

The USD rebound from its lowest level should be hampered on Friday. This comes after Jerome Powell as the chairman of the Fed said interest rates would not rise anytime soon. That statement affects many aspects in global trading.

On Thursday, Joe Biden told the further details about the stimulus that may be given. The Amount of that fund is $1.9 trillion. That condition was unable to deliver some supports for the greenback as predicted by many analysts.

The crucial points of the awarding plan have been reported by the media. Elsewhere, the index of USD has strengthened after in a low position level for several months. It seems that the plan about stimulus affects many things.

 

The Impact of Funding from Joe Biden

The new government in America creates more prospects for stimulus. The situation also sends a benchmark on 10-year Treasury yields. The number is quite high at above 1% and that happened for the first time. That is especially since March

Interestingly, some experts thought that the greenback to remain in decline, which caused it to slump nearly as much as 7% last year. It is especially if you compare it to other major currencies as the economic condition begins to normal again.

However, some concerns about that thing appears that it will be able to suppress that weakness. The common basic case in economic worldwide is substantial acceleration. Historically this has been common for some currencies at the present time.

Some experts thought that a debate is a common potential that may happen. It is especially whether the American dollar will be weakened just like what people are hoped for. The USD level in the market is still in a volatile condition right now.

Dollar Condition Globally

The index about dollar was reported to have slightly moved at 90.319. That was happened after drifting a little lower overnight. The major currencies also rebounded to a high of 90.73 earlier of these 7 days from their low of 89.206 on January 6.

Powell gave his statement during a live interview with a Princeton University professor. The interview was done on Thursday. He said that the economic condition is far from the ideal level which is expected by the Fed.

On the other side, there are not any reasons to change his stance which may be judged highly accommodating by some. It seems that Powell will still with his decision until his work is finished properly. It's for sure that this thing needs time.

The central bank's asset purchase program also has a huge role to make the dollar weakened. The situation will slightly raise the currencies’ supply and then make its value lessened. Until now, many market participants are still highlighting that topic.

Monetary Policy May Remain Loose

From the data, it could be seen that the USD experienced a slight move of 103.77 yen. This currency reached that position after slipping 0.1%. Elsewhere, the Euro also fell 0.1% to $1.21395. The Euro is already on the condition for a 3-day weakening.

Monetary policy is a strong reason. The rumor said that policy will remain loose for a long period of time. This is what will maintain real yields on a negative trend and will most likely withstand USD rallies which can run further.  

That statement was given by an analyst from the well known organization. Her name is Kim Mundy. Furthermore, the Australian Dollar was slipped up to 0.3% and it reached 77.560 US cents. That also held back gains of as much as 0.6% from the previous session.

Powell's accommodating stance also brought influence to some commodities. One of them is gold. This commodity is at an increasing level or still in a stable situation. However, USD / JPY actually decreased because of the existing statement.
