DXY Potential Forecast | Pre CPI | 14th March 2023

Short
TVC:DXY   U.S. Dollar Index
Fundamental Backdrop
1. Employments was good, well above the forecasted or what the market has been pricing in.
3. However, average hourly earnings increased at a decreasing rate to 0.2% from 0.3%.
4. This shows the slowing down of the wage inflation , which is directly correlated with the inflation print and numbers, showing an important signal/sign that inflation could be worse off.
5. In addition, unemployment rate increased by 0.2% compared to previous months.
6. The average earnings and unemployment rate prints showcases the effect of the continuous rate hikes that the Fed has partaken in.
7. This directly discourages the Fed from taking on a more hawkish stance in the market, upon seeing the fruition of the restrictive policy the Fed has performed.

CPI
1. If CPI were to be worse off than forecasted, this really solidifies the bearishness of the USD as it confirms that the Fed policy has been coming to fruition and there might not be a need to hike interest rates anymore.
2. However, if CPI print continues to be resilient and strong or greater than expectations, there is a marked chance that the Fed will hike interest rates by 50bps in the upcoming FOMC meeting, in which this hawkish stance will continue to drive the market bullish for the USD.
3. All eyes will be on the CPI print tonight.
