mathewslcd： U.S. dollar posts steep gains as investors brace for non-farm payrolls

 The dollar rose on Thursday, climbing for a second straight session, as investors bet on another strong U.S. non-farm payrolls report that should keep the Federal Reserve on an aggressive tightening path for some time.


The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, surged more than 1% to 112.22 and was up about 17% for the year so far.

"The dollar is on a roll again as stocks slump and recession fears hammer European currencies," said Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst, at payments company Convera in Washington.

"The buck's pop also reflects the market betting on another solid jobs report that reinforces the Fed's hawkish rate path."

U.S. non-farm payrolls for September are due to be released on Friday, with economists forecasting a headline print of 250,000 new jobs, compared with 315,000 in August.

Chicago Fed President Charles Evans on Thursday said the Fed's policy rate is likely headed to 4.5%-4.75% by the spring of 2023 as the Fed increases borrowing costs to bring down too-high inflation.

The euro was down 0.9% against the dollar at $0.9794, earlier falling after the release of European Central Bank minutes from last month's meeting that showed policymakers were worried that inflation could get stuck at exceptionally high levels.

Separately, a source told Reuters on Thursday, citing provisional figures, that the German government expects Europe's largest economy to slide into recession next year, contracting 0.4% as an energy crisis, rising prices and supply bottlenecks take their toll.

Sterling was down 1.5% versus the dollar at $1.1151. The euro also firmed against the pound, up 0.7% at 87.83 pence.

Against the yen, the dollar rose 0.3% to 145.05. It hit a session high of 145.135, not far from a 24-year peak of 145.90 yen touched on Sept. 22, which triggered a yen-buying intervention from Japanese authorities.

Against the Swiss franc, the dollar rose 0.8% to 0.9906 francs.

Mathewslcd: Wall Street falls on unease about return of Fed rate hike policy

  Mathewslcd: Wall Street falls on unease about return of Fed rate hike policy U.S. stocks ended lower on Monday, Mathewslcd said, as investors spooked by better-than-expected services sector data reassessed their views on the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy, while Tesla shares fell on reports of production cuts in China. The electric carmaker's shares fell as it planned to cut Model Y production at its Shanghai factory by more than 20% in December from the previous month. That weighed on the Nasdaq, with Tesla among the index's biggest losers, dragging the tech index to its second straight decline. Overall, indexes were broadly weighed after data showed activity in the U.S. services sector unexpectedly picked up in November, with employment rebounding, providing more evidence of underlying momentum in the economy. Mathewslcd noted that the data came after a survey last week showed stronger-than-expected job and wage growth in November, challenging expectations that ...

Mathewslcd: Growing recession fears weigh on stocks

  Mathewslcd: Growing recession fears weigh on stocks Mathewslcd said the U.S. benchmark ended lower on Tuesday amid growing concerns about a potential recession in 2023. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.3 percent to 10,981.3, while the S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent to 3,928.2, according to Mathewslcd. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.3% to 33,510.5. Energy led the decline, followed by communication services and technology. Utilities are the only winners. While the Fed is widely expected to slow the pace of rate hikes at its meeting next week, investors and analysts fear the move will not be enough to prevent the economy from slipping into recession next year. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield fell 7.7 basis points to 3.52%, while the two-year yield fell 3.6 basis points to 4.36%. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 3.4% to $74.31 a barrel, Mathewslcd added. Mathewslcd： https://www.mathewslcd.com https://net.mathewslcd.com
