The dollar relinquished all of its previous session’s gains versus the euro and sterling during London trading, negating any positive momentum from Wednesday’s upbeat US GDP and Beige Book report. The selling that ensued pushed the greenback to fresh 14-year lows against the sterling at 1.9578 and falling just shy of the recent low versus the euro at 1.3210. Traders remain determined to test the bearish sentiment of the market, thus ignoring any recent dollar positive news such as hawkish Fed rhetoric and evidence that the US economy may be headed for a soft-landing.
The data deluge continues today with the releases of October core PCE, PCE deflator, personal spending, personal income and November Chicago PMI. The core PCE is forecasted to slip to 0.1% from 0.2% the previous month and down to 2.3% from 2.4% a year earlier. The deflator is expected to be lower at 1.4% compared with 2.0% previously. Personal spending and income are seen unchanged from their prior month’s readings. More importantly though, will be the Chicago PMI report due out at 10:00 AM, which will be viewed as a proxy to the manufacturing ISM report also scheduled for this week. Consensus forecast is for PMI to improve to 54.5, up from 53.5 from October.
