Dollar Erases Early Gains as Crude Prices Fall and Stocks Rally

The dollar index (DXY00) fell from a 6-week high today and is down by -0.09%. The dollar gave up an early advance today and moved lower after crude oil prices fell by more than -2%, which lowered inflation expectations and could prompt the Fed to ease monetary policy, a negative for the dollar. Also, today's stock rally has reduced liquidity demand for the dollar. The dollar initially moved higher today on an increase in safe-haven demand after President Trump threatened to resume strikes on Iran in the coming days as part of the push for a deal to end the war.

Swaps markets are discounting the odds at 7% for a 25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.
