The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback's value against six major currencies, is heading lower on Wednesday in the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) release aftermath. Numbers came in either in line or a touch softer than expected, which is perceived as disinflationary.
Although it was not a stellar surprise as on Tuesday with the Producer Price Index (PPI), where all data points came in lower or at the lowest estimate, the CPI reading is enough to bring back that initial Federal Reserve rate cut for 2025 from September to July.
For the remainder of this Wednesday all eyes will shift to the Federal Reserve speakers. They might come out with some guidance or even cautious guidance that the number of rate cuts might not match market expectations.
