As word units become the unified value settlement unit in the intelligent era, the cloud computing business model is undergoing a fundamental restructuring. The industry is gradually moving away from the traditional server leasing and time-based IaaS model, and fully shifting to a pay-as-you-go intelligent service system centered on word consumption. This will drive the expansion of high-margin AI service revenue for cloud vendors, optimize their overall profit structure, and usher the industry into an upward cycle of increased demand and price-volume resonance.Australian Prime Minister Albanese: The government has secured three batches of aviation fuel, totaling more than 600,000 barrels, or about 100 million liters.May 19th - The latest invoice data released today by the State Taxation Administration shows that in the first four months of this year, the sales revenue of enterprises nationwide achieved steady growth, presenting several highlights.

US Dollar Index Recovers From Weekly Low Due To Weak US Inflation And Hawkish Federal Reserve Bets

During early Wednesday trade, the US Dollar Index (DXY) maintains a defensive stance at 103.30, following a comeback from a one-week low, as dollar bulls await fresh evidence to reverse a two-day decline.

 

US inflation numbers initially failed to excite US Dollar bulls, forcing the dollar's index against six major currencies to drop to its lowest level in a week the previous day. The US Treasury bond yield and the DXY, however, were later buoyed by the Fed's hawkish remarks.

 

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) exceeded market expectations with a 6.4% year-over-year (YoY) increase, although it was the worst YoY growth since 2021, when it fell below 6.5%. Importantly, the CPI excluding food and energy, often known as the Core CPI, rose by 5.6% compared to market forecasts of 5.5% and prior readings of 5.5%.

 

In spite of the fact that the United States inflation failed to meet expectations for a "pleasant surprise," the majority of Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers supported more rate hikes after reviewing the data. The yields on US Treasury bonds and the US Dollar were driven by the same factor. Lorie Logan, president of the Dallas Fed, highlighted, however, that they must be prepared to continue rate hikes for a longer period of time than initially anticipated. John Williams, president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, reiterated this attitude, noting that the task of containing high inflation is not yet accomplished. In addition, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Patrick Harker, stated that they are not yet through (increasing interest rates), but are likely close.

 

As a result, US 10-year Treasury bond rates vary around 3.75%, up three basis points (bps) after reaching a six-week high, while the two-year equivalent reached its highest level since early November 2022 by reaching 4.60%. Similarly, Wall Street's losses towards the conclusion of the day boosted the DXY's increase.

 

US Retail Sales and Industrial Production data for January, as well as the NY Empire State Manufacturing Index for February, should be closely monitored by traders of the US Dollar Index on Wednesday in order to validate the Fed's hawkish lean and continue the recovery's momentum.
