The US Core and Headline CPI rates for February came in higher than expected during yesterday\u2019s American session. The higher-than-expected CPI rates could cause concern amongst market participants, as they imply persistent inflationary pressures in the US economy. Furthermore, the Headline CPI rates for February, not only came in higher than expected but accelerated, which could cause concern that the Fed may have to withhold cutting rates to early. Following the release, the greenback appears to have strengthened, yet the positive impact on the dollar appears to have been short-lived, as market expectations of the Fed potentially cutting rates in June, appear at the time of this report to have remained intact. Yet we note that the market\u2019s currently expected 3 rate cuts by the Fed this year which appears to be in line with the Fed\u2019s dot plot, which could weigh on the dollar. Over in Europe, ECB member Wunsch according to Bloomberg, implied that the bank may have to take a decision soon when referring to cutting intertest rates and that may not be \u201cbefore so long\u201d. Furthermore, ECB member Villeroy re-iterated the dovish sentiment emerging from ECB officials, having stated according to Bloomberg that there is a Broad consensus in the ECB that key interest rates should be lowered in the Spring. Should the dovish sentiment be re-iterated by ECB officials, it could weigh on the common currency. According to an FT headline, \u201cJapanese workers secure biggest pay rise in three decades\u201d, which appears to be aiding the BOJ\u2019s implied requirements of an increase in real wages before potentially shifting their stance on the bank\u2019s monetary policy, which could support the JPY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
