The dollar index (DXY00) today is up by +0.15%. The dollar today recovered from overnight losses and is moderately higher on hawkish comments from Fed Governor Bowman that reduced chances for a -50 bp rate cut at the November FOMC meeting when she said core inflation remains "uncomfortably" above the Fed's 2% target. Also, today’s better-than-expected US Chicago PMI and Dallas Fed manufacturing reports supported the dollar.
The US Sep MNI Chicago PMI unexpectedly rose +0.5 to 46.6, stronger than expectations of -0.1 to 46.0.
