The Dollar Regains Control of Markets
Last week, U.S. debt hit an all-time high at $33 trillion amid inflation and a massive wave of treasury bonds. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen often looks at the ‘net interest’ gauge as a percentage of GDP to assess the United States’ financial health.
In Japan, the Bank of Japan may need to raise interest rates sooner than expected if the value of the Japanese Yen weakens beyond 150 Yen against the dollar, according to Bob Michel, Global Head of Fixed Income at JPMorgan Asset Management.
The dollar held firm after a series of economic data and news last week supported the continuation of monetary tightening. The US Dollar Index is currently trading around its pivotal point at $105.30.
Markets are awaiting important data this week, including Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s speech and the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is expected to rise by 0.2% to 2.3%.
