EBC Forex Snapshot, 24 Jun 2024
The dollar was little changed on Monday. Money markets are still pricing in a 58% chance of a 25-bp rate cut in September, and still expect about two rate cuts this year, according to LSEG's FedWatch data.
US business activity reached a 26-month high in June amid a rebound in employment, while easing price pressures suggested the recent inflation slowdown may continue.
The focus through the week will also be on geopolitics, with the first US presidential debate on Thursday and the first round of voting in the French election at the weekend.
