The US dollar continues to hold positions in the foreign exchange market. After the main world central banks announced that they intend to adhere to a soft monetary policy, the Fed is giving numerous signals for a high probability of an early interest rate hike. Thus, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Eric Rosengren, stated earlier in the week that "three increases in rates are justified during the current year, provided that the economy will grow according to forecasts". Higher rates support the dollar, making US assets more attractive to investors.
At 12:30 (GMT), it is planned to publish key data on inflation and retail sales in the US for April. The forecast: + 0.6% (against -0.2% in March) and + 0.3% (against -0.3% in March), respectively. Positive inflation indicators will increase the likelihood of an increase in interest rates of the Federal Reserve System.
