USD price continues to record a week of increase

The world USD price continued to increase when the USD-Index reached 104.27 points, 0.23 points higher than the end of last week. Last week, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced to keep interest rates unchanged but also maintained the view that there will be 3 cuts this year.

However, some analysts believe that if inflation continues to persist, the US central bank will not rule out the possibility of adjusting the number of interest rate cuts. On March 29, the US Department of Commerce said that the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased 0.3% in February. This result is in line with the expectations of economists . The report also said that the headline inflation increased 0.3% last month, slightly lower than expected. Although declining, inflation is still higher than the Fed's 2% target.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller said midweek that recent disappointing inflation data has confirmed the central bank's ability to delay cutting its short-term interest rate target.

According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, investors predict a 64% probability that the Fed will start cutting interest rates from June, lower than 70% last week.
