- US Dollar pushes higher as robust data underpins hawkish Fed outlook
US Dollar pushes higher as robust data underpins hawkish Fed outlook
- Ongoing strength in the US labor market fuels expectations of a more restrictive Federal Reserve policy path in 2025.
- Investors rotate into the Greenback as elevated Treasury yields attract global capital, driving the US Dollar Index to fresh cycle peaks.
- Markets anticipate the Fed to maintain its 4.25%-4.50% rate range this month, postponing further cuts as inflation concerns persist.
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the USD against a basket of currencies, sees gains for a fifth straight session on Monday against nearly every major G20 peer. Markets are rebalancing for a more restrictive Federal Reserve (Fed) policy in 2025 after the most recent US employment report.
The DXY briefly touched 110.00 and seeks consolidation at these elevated levels as the Greenback retains its bullish footing given the solid Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data last Friday and the Fed’s cautious approach to easing viewed in last week’s Meeting Minutes.
Daily digest market movers: US Dollar sees gains on a solid NFP report
- Strong US data and hawkish Fed officials continue pushing the US Dollar to new cycle highs with robust December NFP figures underscoring labor market resilience.
- December Nonfarm Payrolls grew by 256,000, eclipsing the 160,000 consensus, while the Unemployment Rate ticked down to 4.1%. Wage inflation decelerated slightly to 3.9% YoY.
- New York Fed’s Nowcast points to Q4 growth at 2.4% SAAR, up from 1.9% last week, while Q1 estimates rose to 2.7% from 2.2%. The Atlanta Fed GDPNow model tracks Q4 near 2.7%.
- Fed set to hold rates steady this month as policymakers note diminished urgency for additional cuts, citing continued labor market and growth momentum through 2025.
- Consumer Price Index from December is due this week, and its outcome will dictate the market’s price dynamics as well as Fed rate bets.
DXY technical outlook: Index approaches 110.00, flashing overbought signals
The US Dollar Index has surged to its highest level since November 2022, briefly testing the 110.00 threshold. Momentum indicators are nearing overbought territory, suggesting a possible near-term pause or shallow pullback. Still, strong labor figures and a hawkish Fed bias reinforce the US Dollar’s bullish trajectory. Should profit-taking intensify, support may emerge around the 108.50–109.00 zone, providing a buffer for the ongoing uptrend.
US Dollar FAQs
The US Dollar (USD) is the official currency of the United States of America, and the ‘de facto’ currency of a significant number of other countries where it is found in circulation alongside local notes. It is the most heavily traded currency in the world, accounting for over 88% of all global foreign exchange turnover, or an average of $6.6 trillion in transactions per day, according to data from 2022. Following the second world war, the USD took over from the British Pound as the world’s reserve currency. For most of its history, the US Dollar was backed by Gold, until the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971 when the Gold Standard went away.
The most important single factor impacting on the value of the US Dollar is monetary policy, which is shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to achieve price stability (control inflation) and foster full employment. Its primary tool to achieve these two goals is by adjusting interest rates. When prices are rising too quickly and inflation is above the Fed’s 2% target, the Fed will raise rates, which helps the USD value. When inflation falls below 2% or the Unemployment Rate is too high, the Fed may lower interest rates, which weighs on the Greenback.
In extreme situations, the Federal Reserve can also print more Dollars and enact quantitative easing (QE). QE is the process by which the Fed substantially increases the flow of credit in a stuck financial system. It is a non-standard policy measure used when credit has dried up because banks will not lend to each other (out of the fear of counterparty default). It is a last resort when simply lowering interest rates is unlikely to achieve the necessary result. It was the Fed’s weapon of choice to combat the credit crunch that occurred during the Great Financial Crisis in 2008. It involves the Fed printing more Dollars and using them to buy US government bonds predominantly from financial institutions. QE usually leads to a weaker US Dollar.
Quantitative tightening (QT) is the reverse process whereby the Federal Reserve stops buying bonds from financial institutions and does not reinvest the principal from the bonds it holds maturing in new purchases. It is usually positive for the US Dollar.
