CPI-inflation data due on Tuesday:

Investors look ahead to the well-expected January U.S. CPI consumer inflation data due on Tuesday that might provide more cues on monetary policy and the price trajectory of the dollar.

While the reading is expected to show further easing in inflation in January 2023 to 6.2% vs 6.5% in December 2022, it is still expected to remain relatively high, which could invite more interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

More robust jobs data and solid economic readings saw markets last week have to recalibrate expectations for how high the Federal Reserve may need to raise rates this year to curb the record-high inflation.

On top of that, Federal Reserve speakers reiterated their hawkish messages that there is more work to be done to tame inflation, triggering a rebound on the dollar against other currencies.

Following a four-month downturn momentum, the DXY-U.S. dollar index which tracks the greenback against six major peers retreated from the multi-year high of 115 hit in late September 2022 to yearly lows of nearly 100 level at the end of January 2023.

However, after the FOMC policy meeting on February 01, 2023, the dollar enjoys a strong rebound toward the 104 level, driven by the hot U.S nonfarm payrolls reading for January, the sharp bounce in the services ISM last month.

Surging yields give support on the dollar as well, with the yield on the 10-year bond bouncing from the lower end of its range that goes back to the middle of last September (3.30%) to the upper end near a five-week high of 3.75% on expectations for more rate hikes by the Fed.

According to the BoE’s calculations, the current market expectations of a peak in rates around 4.5% in mid-2023 would push inflation below its 2% target in the medium term. That suggests it doesn’t see the need to raise the Bank rate much more, if at all, although it was careful to add those uncertainties around this outlook are high and that “the risks to inflation are skewed significantly to the upside”, said the Governor.

That suggests it doesn’t see the need to raise the Bank rate much more, if at all, although it was careful to add those uncertainties around this outlook are high and that “the risks to inflation are skewed significantly to the upside”, said the Governor.

Risk for a recession in the UK in 2023:

The surging rates could add further pressure on the already-beaten-down U.K economy, which is struggling with record-high energy and food prices, with the inflation rate -10.5%- running much higher than in the U.S. and Eurozone, amid a tighter-than-expected labor market coupled with wages pressure.

That’s why the IMF- International Monetary Fund expects the U.K. to be the only G7 economy to fall into recession in 2023, with the annual GDP to contract some 0.6%, predominantly due to higher taxes, rising interest rates and the high cost of energy as well as lower government spending.

Despite the new rate hike, the Pound Sterling fell to as low as the $1.2180 level on Friday morning, nearly 2% down from a weekly high of $1.24, before stabilizing to nearly $1.2260.

Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-year Gilt (UK government bond) dropped to nearly 3%, its lowest since November 2022 (it topped at nearly 4.60% in mid-October), following some more-dovish messages-than-the market had expected from BoE.

During the regular press conference after the rating announcement, Governor Andrew Bailey had hinted that the Bank of England may have finished raising interest rates after the 50 basis points hike on Thursday, which had increased the possibility of an end to its policy tightening.

According to the BoE’s calculations, the current market expectations of a peak in rates around 4.5% in mid-2023 would push inflation below its 2% target in the medium term.

The Bank of England raised- as widely expected- its key interest rate by another 50 basis points to 4% on Thursday, the highest it’s been since the 2008 financial crisis, to fight the inflation which is still running above the 10% level (10.5% CPI in December).
