HighLights:
The dollar rolled higher versus major rivals Wednesday following up-
beat data on durable goods orders and maintained gains after minutes
of the Federal Reserve’s November policy meeting reinforced expecta-
tions for a December rate increase.
The dollar has rallied sharply this month, fueled in part by expecta-
tions that President-elect Donald Trump’s administration will pursue
fiscal policies that will boost inflation and growth, prompting more
aggressive tightening by the Fed.
“However, there is a strong chance that the market has overestimated
the impact of Trump policies and that the *U.S. dollar’s+ move has
been too far, too fast,” wrote Jane Foley, currency strategist at Ra-
bobank, in a note to clients.
The dollar found renewed buying interest after the Commerce Depart-
ment said orders for long-lasting goods made in the U.S. soared 4.8%
in October thanks largely to stronger demand for commercial aircraft.
The rise topped the consensus forecast for a 3.3% rise.
A 1.7% rebound in U.S. Durable Goods Orders may heighten the appeal of the greenback and spark a near-term decline
in EUR/USDas it puts increased pressure on the Federal Open Market Committee FOMC to raise the benchmark interest rate at
the last 2016-meeting on December 14.
Fed Funds Futures are pricing a greater than 90% probability for a December rate-hike as ‘the Committee judges that the case
for an increase in the federal funds rate has continued to strengthen,’ and Chair Janet Yellen and Co. may continue to normal-
ize monetary policy in the year ahead should the data print reinforce central bank expectations for a ‘moderate’ recovery.
However, another unexpected decline in demand for large-ticket items may drag on interest-rate expectations as private-
sector consumption remains one of the leading drivers of growth and inflation.
A better-than-expected set of public sector borrowing numbers may give UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond a
touch more wiggle room at tomorrow’s Autumn Statement (AS). Public sector net borrowing excluding public sector banks
(PSNB ex) was £4.3 billion in October, below the £6.4 billion in October 2015 and the consensus, £6.0 billion, according to data
from the Office for National Statistics.
While October’s figures show that the UK economy is still holding up well, despite Brexit worries, PSNB ex is expected to over-
shoot its March Budget target of £55.5 billion by around £12-13 billion in the 2016/17 financial year. In addition, the country’s
finances will also be impacted by higher inflation costs and reduced tax receipts as UK economic growth cools. The recent rise
in Gilt yields will also have a negative impact on the UK’s balance sheet, with higher yields resulting in higher interest pay-
ments.
Keeping the figures released today in mind, Chancellor Hammond may have to tread carefully at tomorrow’s Autumn State-
ment if he is to build financial credibility. And UK Prime Minister Theresa May will also want to boost her domestic standing
ahead of a couple of difficult years after the UK triggers Article 50 by the end of March to begin the Brexit process.
