News category : Commodity and Currency Events

On November 29 the US dollar extended losses as futures markets priced a greater likelihood of Federal Reserve easing. The dollar's decline was broad based and helped lift many emerging market currencies, while lowering the cost of hedging for some multinational firms. Currency strategists warned that the move reflects altered interest rate differentials and is contingent on forthcoming US macro prints; any data surprise could quickly reverse the moves. The shift also influenced cross-asset flows as investors rotated into riskier assets on a lower dollar backdrop.
