- The US Dollar strengthens on the back of overnight comments from Fed Chairman Powell.
- Israel has started its ground offensive in Lebanon, escalating tensions in the region.
- The US Dollar Index prints a four-day high ahead of ISM Manufacturing PMI data.
The US Dollar (USD) trades broadly positive on Tuesday ahead of the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) numbers from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). The positive turnaround for the Greenback took place after traders priced in less interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve (Fed) on the back of Chairman Jerome Powell comments.
On the geopolitical side, Israel has started its incursion into Israel in what it calls “a limited ground offensive,” the Financial Times reports. Any further escalation of violence in the region could trigger safe-haven flows that generally tend to support the Greenback.
Looking at the economic calendar ahead, the ISM Manufacturing survey will be the main driver this Tuesday. Still, other elements will take up some attention as well. The JOLTS Job Openings report will give clues about how the demand for labor is evolving, while traders’ eyes and ears will need to be kept open as five Fed members are set to take the stage.
