June US CPI cools to 3.5%, easing near-term Fed hike bets and weighing on the dollar
AI Market Summary
June US CPI and core CPI undershot expectations, prompting markets to unwind near-term Fed hike pricing and pushing front-end Treasury yields lower. The DXY fell ~0.3% and USD pairs softened across Asia, including USDSGD, as rate differentials narrowed. However, elevated US real yields and Middle East geopolitical risk still provide residual USD support. Focus shifts to China's Q2 GDP, a key risk for regional FX sentiment.

US inflation eased more than expected in June, with headline CPI slowing to 3.5% year on year and core CPI to 2.6%. After the release, the US dollar index (DXY) fell 0.3%, USDJPY closed 0.1% lower and USDSGD also softened. The cooling print reduced near-term expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes and pushed short-dated US Treasury yields lower, pressuring the dollar and rippling across major Asian currency pairs.
