US Dollar Index Struggles to Surpass 104.00 as US Inflation Rate Rises

The US dollar index (DXY) is equilibrating below the round level mark of 104.00 as market players lose interest in the release of US inflation data. The asset has been fluctuating between 102.35 and 104.20 since April 28 amid a flurry of key economic events, ranging from the Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate decision and the announcement of US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) last week to the impending Consumer Price Index (CPI) statistics.

US CPI Figures

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics is anticipated to report an annual inflation rate of 8.1 percent, a decrease from the previous rate of 8.5 percent, while the core CPI, which excludes food and energy, is anticipated to reach 6 percent. Although inflation is anticipated to be lower, this does not guarantee that the Fed will not raise rates in June. If the annual inflation rate rises over the multidecade high of 8.5%, investors should anticipate greater volatility. 

Fed's Mester's address

Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, stated that the Fed will not ease its stance on interest rates until it observes a significant decline in inflation levels. Inflation rates are skyrocketing, and the current scenario necessitates tougher measures to curb the rate of inflation's ascent.

 

Important events this week include the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Initial Jobless Claims, and the Producers Price Index (PPI), as well as the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI).

 

On the back burner are the Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks, China's CPI, and Christine Lagarde's address as President of the European Central Bank (ECB).
