Forex Today: Dollar weakens ahead of US CPI

The critical report on Tuesday is the US Consumer Price Index. During the Asian session, the Australian Westpac Consumer Confidence Index and the National Australia Bank's Business Survey are due. Later in the day, the UK will report jobs data, Switzerland will release wholesale inflation data, and the Eurozone will publish Q3 GDP and employment numbers.

Here is what you need to know on Tuesday, November 14:

The US Dollar Index (DXY) fell for the second consecutive day, extending its retreat from the 106.00 area to 105.60. The decline in the Greenback was influenced by lower US Treasury yields and higher commodity prices. The 10-year yield dropped to 4.62%, while the 2-year yield fell to 5.02%.

Market attention is focused on US inflation data scheduled for release on Tuesday. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is expected to rise by 0.1% in October, with the annual rate slowing from 3.7% in September to 3.36% in October. The core annual rate is forecasted to remain at 4.1%. If the numbers align with expectations, it would reinforce the market's belief that the Federal Reserve has finished raising interest rates.
