TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
The dollar climbed for a second consecutive day on Tuesday as a strong reading for U.S. manufacturing activity pushed bond yields higher, prompting investors to trim some of their extreme short bets against the greenback.
As expectations of a U.S. rate increase hardened to more than 71 percent by December from 42 percent a month earlier, according to the CME’s Fedwatch indicator, the dollar has rallied more than 3 percent over the last month.
“Divergence trades between the Fed and the (European Central Bank) are back in fashion again and until we see a fresh commitment from the ECB to scale back its policy stimulus, the dollar will continue to gain against the euro,” said Esther Maria Reichelt, an FX strategist at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.
