British Pound Futures Market News and Commentary

Dollar Gains as President Trump Downplays Rift with Fed Chair Powell

The dollar index (DXY00) today is up by +0.35%.  The dollar is climbing today on comments made late Thursday from President Trump that firing Fed Chair Powell wasn't necessary, easing concerns around the Fed's independence that could spark foreign investors to shun dollar assets.  Higher T-note yields today are also supportive of the dollar.  On the negative side was today's report on US Jun capital goods new orders nondefense ex-aircraft & parts that unexpectedly declined.

US Jun capital goods new orders nondefense ex-aircraft & parts unexpectedly fell -0.7% m/m, weaker than expectations of a +0.1% m/m increase. 

President Trump downplayed his clash with Fed Chair Powell, stating that there was "no tension" between them and that he simply wants to see interest rates lowered.

Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 3% at the July 29-30 FOMC meeting and 63% at the following meeting on September 16-17.
