The US Dollar staged a significant rebound driven by hawkish sentiments from Federal Reserve members, particularly emphasised by Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly. This resurgence was marked by a notable retreat in gold prices, echoing the Dollar’s strength. Investors are closely watching the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for October to gain insights into the Fed’s strategy against inflation, which could sway the Dollar’s trajectory. Meanwhile, Pound Sterling exhibited resilience on positive economic data, and oil prices saw a modest rebound on the expectations upon OPEC+ production cuts. The US equity market recovered, but Moody’s negative outlook on the US credit rating raises caution.
