What will the Fed do and why the Australian dollar is growing

This image is no longer relevant

The dollar is falling steadily against the basket of major currencies on the second day against the background of weak data on US Treasury bonds and the housing sector. Now, investors are likely to estimate the Fed's interest rate cut for the first time in a decade. Expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut dominate the money markets, and some investors forecast a 50 basis point cut. It is expected that by the end of the year the Fed will cut a total of almost 75 basis points.

"We certainly see that both from the Fed and the ECB, there are more specific signals regarding policy easing, the question is how much the Fed will cut the rate next week," – Commerzbank said. Morgan Stanley notes that the overall outlook for risky assets remains bearish due to disappointing earnings reports in the US and weak prospects for world trade. "All this gives good reasons for the fact that the Fed will consider the possibility of reducing the rate by 50 b.p. at the end of this month," the note to customers said, adding that a 50-point reduction would sharply weaken the dollar, especially against high-yield currencies.

Despite rising expectations of lower interest rates in the US, the euro is stuck in a narrow trading range around $ 1.12, while investors expect the ECB to go for the Fed. Currently, the probability of a rate cut of 10 basis points next week is 50%. The weakness of the dollar pushed other currencies.

The Australian dollar led the growth thanks to a positive report on jobs. Unemployment remained stable at 5.2% for the third month in a row. The Australian dollar rose 0.3% to 0.7031 dollars. At the same time, the rate of part-time employment in June fell from 8.6% to 8.2%. The underemployment rate has a higher correlation with interest rate and wages than the unemployment rate, and is likely to push the Australian even higher.
