USD remains strong against its peers
Concern regarding the delta variant of Covid has investors moving away from risk-on moves. Yesterday, derivative traders pushed out expectations for Fed rate hikes from January 2023 to March 2023. The market is now pricing in 18 bps lower for Fed rates for June 2024. The greenback remains strong against its peers even as oil prices and Treasuries have stabilized.
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”
