Daily Currency Update
This morning, the US dollar experienced a drop from its recent highs as investors anticipate this week's US labor data, which is expected to impact the interest rate perspective. On Wednesday, the US dollar faced downward pressure due to an unforeseen deceleration in US services growth. Despite this setback, it still maintains its position as the leading performer among G10 currencies for the year, largely due to significant reductions in interest rate cut forecasts over the past few months.Key Movers
Yesterday, European inflation figures were lower than expected. This has further solidified the anticipation of a rate cut in June. It is expected that the final PMI data for March in Europe will remain largely consistent with initial readings. At the same time, producer prices are projected to decline significantly in February. These projections align with expectations for the European Central Bank to commence easing measures in June.Expected Ranges
