Dollar index (USDX)

US Dollar Index chart on 20 February 2023

Markets and traders are awaiting important data that will provide more clarity regarding the Fed’s next move. Other readings from US consumer data are expected to be influential in the Fed’s decisions to tackle inflation and interest rates later this week.

This comes amid a debate among central bankers about the need to adjust the pace of interest rate increases in light of rising fears of a global recession.

Minutes of the Fed’s last policy meeting are due next Wednesday, at which the US central bank hiked its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, and the readings may help illuminate the appetite for a bigger hike when policymakers meet again in March.
