British Pound/U.S. Dollar Futures Market News and Commentary

Dollar Gains on Hawkish Waller Comments and Strong US Economic Reports

The dollar index (DXY00) on Thursday climbed to a 6-week high and finished up by +0.20%.  Hawkish comments Wednesday night from Fed Governor Waller boosted the dollar when he said there’s “no rush” for the Fed to ease monetary policy.  The dollar extended its gains on Thursday’s mostly better-than-expected US economic reports, which were hawkish for Fed policy.

US weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly fell -2,000 to 210,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of an increase to 212,000.

US Q4 GDP was revised upward to +3.4% (q/q annualized), stronger than expectations of an unrevised 3.2%, as Q4 personal consumption was revised upward to 3.3%, stronger than expectations of an unrevised 3.0%.  The Q4 core PCE price index was revised lower to +2.0% (q/q annualized), weaker than expectations of an unrevised +2.1%.

The US Mar MNI Chicago PMI unexpectedly fell -2.6 to a 10-month low of 41.4, weaker than expectations of an increase to 46.0.
