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.

As U.S. markets are closed on Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, the EUR/USD pair is attempting to establish a trend. As investors anticipate the release of Producer Price Index (PPI) and Retail Sales data from the United States, the main currency pair is trading below 1.0840.

 

S&P500 futures had some selling pressure early in the Asian session, but have since recovered their losses and turned positive, signaling an improvement in risk appetite on the market. Under the influence of a positive market mentality, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is attempting to break below the immediate support level of 101.75.

 

The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) slowed in December, bolstering the case for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to announce a smaller interest rate increase in the near future. As the Fed seeks to end policy tightening, the USD Index may continue its downward trend for an extended period of time in the future.

 

According to analysts at Wells Fargo, the conclusion of monetary tightening should put an end to the dollar's advances by early 2023. In fact, we believe the trade-weighted dollar has already reached its cyclical peak." Once the Fed begins reducing its policy interest rate at the beginning of the following year, they anticipate an even more pronounced USD depreciation in 2024.

 

On Wednesday, investors will focus on the release of US Producer Price Index (PPI) data. The street anticipated a decline as a result of the decline in gasoline prices, which has enabled manufacturers to drop prices at factory gates as a result of reduced production costs. In addition, price reductions will counteract a decline in retail demand. Additionally, Retail Sales figures will be extensively examined.

 

Meanwhile, Eurozone investors are pleased that Germany's preliminary Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded 1.9% on an annualized rate in 2022, compared to the market consensus of 1.8% and the previous release of 2.5%.
