On April 4, according to people familiar with the matter, US Republicans are considering creating a new tax bracket for people with incomes of $1 million or more to offset part of the cost of the tax bill, which is in stark contrast to the Republican Partys decades-long opposition to tax increases. People familiar with the matter said the new top tax rate would be between 39% and 40%. Trump administration officials and allies on Capitol Hill are beginning to draft a tax plan, hoping to pass it in the coming months. In addition, Republicans are also considering raising the top tax rate on incomes over $626,350 from the current 37% to 39.6%, which means the top tax rate will return to the level set by former President Obama.US President Trump: Britain is happy with US tariffs.Foreign central banks held U.S. Treasuries worth -$1.76 billion in the week ending March 27, compared with -$14.896 billion in the previous week.Trump trade adviser Navarro: Tariffs are to protect the American people and increase revenue.April 4th, as a new wave of tariffs upends global markets, the dollar has wiped out all of its gains since Trump won the election last November. "The dollar bear market has arrived and its roaring," said Paresh Upadhyaya, director of fixed income and currency strategy at Amundi. He added that the dollar could fall 10% this year as the United States "teeters on the brink of recession." This is in stark contrast to earlier this year, when Trumps policy plans such as tax cuts and tariffs were seen as a reason to bet on a rebound in the dollar. In February, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessant said Trumps policies were "completely consistent" with a strong dollar, confirming the governments strong dollar stance. "We may be in the early stages of a structural sell-off in the dollar," said Ed Al-Hussainy, strategist at Columbia Threadneedle Investment.

During the Tokyo session, the AUD/USD pair enjoyed a substantial rebound following a corrective decline below 0.6780. In response to the risk appetite profile, the Australian dollar has accelerated to roughly 0.6820 and is expected to continue its gains above the previous week's 0.6845 high.

 

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has climbed somewhat sideways above Friday's low of 104.40, as bullish market sentiment has lessened the desirability of safe-haven assets. The optimistic Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report from the United States has failed to strengthen the US Dollar. Compared to the previous report, the US economy added 263,000 jobs in November, an increase of 53 percent. In addition, the yearly increase in the labor cost index has reached 5.1%.

 

As households acquire more disposable income, a robust labor market and rising wages indicate a rise in inflationary pressures. This may lead to a rise in demand for perishable and durable goods, hence supporting price rises.

 

On the antipodean front, investors await Tuesday's announcement of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) interest rate decision. We anticipate another 25 basis point (bps) increase at the final monetary policy meeting of the year on December 6, bringing the OCR to 3.10 percent, according to economists from UOB Group.

 

Notably, this might be RBA Governor Philip Lowe's third consecutive 25-bps rate increase. The monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreased from 7.1% in September to 6.9% in October. Inflation remains well above the target of 2%, necessitating a continuation of policy tightening.

 

Moreover, investors will track the Caixin Service PMI data. It is anticipated that the economic statistics will be somewhat higher at 48.8 than the previous report of 48.4.
