The movement to buy dollars has been increasing recently. It is pointed out that the rate hike rate of the US FOMC is relatively faster than that of other major central banks as a material for aggressive dollar buying. The Eurodollar plunged to the 1.02 level yesterday, but there was widespread belief that the ECB’s rate hike would slow down as Europe’s economic slowdown was wary of the background.
On the other hand, as a negative dollar buying material, it is pointed out that there is a movement to avoid risks due to the low stock prices and low crude oil prices. Major government bonds have been bought as safe assets, and funds are concentrated on the dollar as US bond yields decline. While the dollar-yen pair was sluggish yesterday, the euro-dollar pair, the pound-dollar pair, the Australian dollar / dollar pair fell, and the cross-yen pair also fell.
The stock market has been unstable at the moment, and the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds is at a low level of around 2.8%. Trading continues while keeping an eye on the movement of European stocks, US stock futures and after-hours trading. In terms of the above-mentioned aggressive dollar buying, the minutes of the US FOMC will be released in the afternoon of NY. It is expected that a bullish stance will be maintained that surpasses other major central banks.
