2021-08-04/WEDNESDAY The dollar was pinned near recent lows against other currencies in Asian Market opening trades today, as traders awaited U.S. jobs data for a guide to the rates outlook, while labour market strength lifted the kiwi in anticipation of a New Zealand rate hike within weeks. Elsewhere currencies were broadly steady as markets looked ahead to partial U.S. labour data due later today and non-farm payroll figures due on Friday. The Japanese yen has gained about 2.5% against the dollar in a month and is currently trading at 109.04, after touching its highest since late May overnight at 108.875. The dollar was a touch lower at $1.1870 per euro and 0.12% against the pound at $1.3930. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major rivals, was also trading lower at 91.97. The big dollar picture is that there is a pullback in Fed hike expectations, and we\'ve seen the U.S. dollar head south. We\'ve all seen progress in the labour market, but the question is how much is good enough. Safe haven currencies, meanwhile, have benefited from the dollar\'s softness, particularly as nerves about the spread of the Delta coronavirus variant keep a degree of caution in currency markets. The Indian Rupee opened stronger with a big gap of 12 paise at 74.16/17 against its previous session’s close of 74.28/29 and is expected to trade in a range between 74.00 – 74.40 band tracking a weak dollar and on expected IPO inflows. |
