The dollar advanced Monday and is on course for its best day since June 17 — when the first FOMC meeting under Chairman Kevin Warsh took place. The Dollar Spot Index rose as much as 0.6%, after trading flat on Friday despite a bigger-than-expected increase in a core inflation measure. Treasury yields for the 10-year note edged higher for a fifth straight session Monday to breach 5%, the highest since 2023. Meanwhile, WTI crude held above $100 per barrel after reaching the highest intraday level since May 19.摩根大通全球外汇策略联席主管Meera Chandan表示,过去几周美元表现不佳,尽管能源价格高企、8月通胀和就业数据火热,以及沃什在杰克逊霍尔的鹰派发言“本应推动美元走强”。“目前,在FOMC会议前,我们坚持看涨美元的立场,主要针对瑞典克朗和加元等低收益货币。”所有G-10货币周一均下跌,其中新西兰元和瑞典克朗领跌。两者势将下跌1%。日元下跌超过0.8%,为一周来最差表现。
与此同时,期权市场也在为美元未来进一步走强做准备。美元指数一个月期风险逆转指标自9月2日以来首次回升至正值,表明交易员正在为美元进一步上涨布局。不过,对于当前这轮涨势还能走多远,市场仍存疑虑。
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.全球市场策略主管埃利亚斯·哈达德表示:“美元面临不对称风险,鹰派美联储带来的上行空间有限——因为市场已经消化了未来12个月约100个基点的紧缩预期。”美联储的利率决定定于周三公布。
哈达德补充说:“与此同时,如果出现鸽派意外,将带来更大的下行风险。”
