USD Expected To Recover Some Strength
2024-02-27 • Updated
In the early hours of Tuesday, the US Dollar faces challenges in maintaining its strength against major currencies, with the US Dollar Index struggling to surpass the 104.00 mark. Investors are eagerly anticipating the release of key economic data, including January Durable Goods Orders and the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index for February. Additionally, the economic calendar includes reports such as the Housing Price Index for December and manufacturing indexes from both the Richmond Fed and Dallas Fed for February. Despite a modest recovery in the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield from Monday's losses, it remains just below 4.3%. US stock index futures are trading slightly lower following minor losses in major equity indexes on Monday. Forecasts indicate a potential 4.8% decline in Durable Goods Orders for January, following no change in December. Later in the day, Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr is scheduled to address the risks associated with counterfeit credit in a speech.
