USD/CAD licks its wounds around 1.3740, after marking the biggest daily slump in a month the previous day. In doing so, the Loonie pair portrays the market’s positioning for the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data while struggling to cheer the latest rebound in the Oil price, Canada’s main export item.
The quote ignored the WTI crude oil’s slump towards refreshing a three-month low to $72.42, before a rebound to $74.90 at the latest, amid the broad US Dollar weakness due to the reduction in the hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) bets.
That said, the US Dollar Index (DXY) began the week’s trading on a back foot by printing a three-day south-run while declining the most in two months on Monday, licking its wounds near 103.68 at the latest. With this, the greenback’s gauge versus the six major currencies traced the US Treasury bond yields as hawkish bets on the Federal Reserve (Fed) reverberate.
US two-year Treasury bond yields marked the biggest daily slump since October 1987 by declining more than 13.0% on a day as US banking regulators rushed to defend the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and the Signature Bank. Further, the US 10-year Treasury bond yields slumped to the monthly low amid a sudden shift in the market’s Fed bets due to the financial market risks emanating from the stated banks.
While portraying the latest shift in the US Fed Fund Futures, Reuters said that the US rate futures on Monday have priced in a 69% chance of a 25-bps hike at next week's Fed policy meeting, with a more than 30% probability of a pause. The market last week was poised for a 50-bps increase prior to the SVB collapse.
Looking ahead, the US inflation data for February will be important to watch for clear directions. Forecasts suggest the US CPI is likely to ease to 6.0% YoY versus 6.4% prior while CPI ex Food & Energy may slide to 5.5% YoY from 5.6% prior.
