Dollar Climbs and Gold Slides on Reduced Fed Rate Cut Expectations

The dollar index (DXY00) today is up by +0.29% and posted a new 2-year high. The dollar has carryover support from last Friday’s stronger-than-expected US Dec payroll report that reduced the chances of Fed rate cuts.  Also, higher bond yields are strengthening the dollar’s interest rate differentials as the 10-year T-note yield today rose to a 4-month high.  In addition, today’s weakness in stocks has increased liquidity demand for the dollar.

The markets are discounting the chances at 3% for a -25 bp rate cut at the January 28-29 FOMC meeting.
