Safe haven dollar edges higher after weak Chinese trade data
The U.S. dollar edged higher in early European trade Wednesday, as traders sought out this safe haven after disappointing Chinese trade data hit sentiment. China's trade surplus sank to a 13-month low in May, according to data released earlier Wednesday, driven chiefly by a surprise drop in exports as foreign demand for Chinese goods dried up. Money markets are pricing in a roughly 19% chance that the U.S. central bank will raise rates by 25 basis points next week, compared to an over 60% chance a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool, after weak U.S. services activity data.

Dollar retreats with traders on Fed watch; RBA hike boosts Aussie
The U.S. dollar retreated in early European trade Tuesday, while the Australian dollar soared after the RBA hiked interest rates once more in its fight against elevated inflation. The dollar has seen some volatility over the last few days as traders try to work out what the Federal Reserve will decide in terms of interest rates at next week’s meeting. Friday’s jobs report only muddied the waters, as the blowout payrolls number suggested room for the Fed to hike once more but the unemployment rate rose and the slowdown in the growth of average wages pointed in the other direction.

Dollar climbs on expectations of a still hawkish Fed
The U.S. dollar climbed higher in early European trade Monday after a healthy jobs report prompted traders to price in a continuation of the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance. The dollar has been boosted by the release of forecast-smashing U.S. jobs figures, prompting U.S. Treasury yields to soar as a robust labor market coupled with stronger-than-expected print on the Fed’s preferred inflation index earlier in May pointed to the U.S. central bank keeping interest rates higher for longer. The Fed meets next week and expectations of another rate increase are rising, particularly given the growing hopes the U.S. economy is headed for a 'soft landing' after Congress's approval last week of a debt ceiling deal that averts U.S. default.

Dollar slips after debt ceiling bill progresses; payrolls due later
The U.S. dollar slipped lower in early European trade Friday, adding to the previous session’s sharp losses after the U.S. Congress approved the debt ceiling bill, while traders awaited the widely watched monthly payrolls release. The U.S. Senate late Thursday passed legislation lifting the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, a day after the House of Representatives had done the same. The bill now heads to the White House for President Joe Biden to sign it into law, averting what would have been a first-ever default as the Treasury Department had warned it would be unable to pay all its bills on June 5 if Congress failed to act by then.
