The US dollar slipped post-release while risk markets gained a small bid ahead of the opening bell in the US. Today’s release will please the Fed in their fight against stubbornly high inflation and may give them a chance to pause hiking interest rates. The market is currently pricing in a near 50/50 chance of just one more 25bp rate hike before the central bank pauses. The Fed is then seen cutting rates at the end of Q3 going into Q4.
