The U.S. dollar appreciated against its most major counterparts
in the European session on Monday, as hot U.S. inflation data drove
the treasury yields higher and raised expectations that the Federal
Reserve will continue to tighten policy aggressively in the coming
months.
Data from Labor Department showed on Friday that the U.S.
consumer price index rose to a four-decade high of 8.6 percent in
May, beating economists' expectations of 8.3 percent.
The data fuelled a selloff in stock markets as investors fear
that aggressive monetary tightening could cause a recession.
The Fed meeting is also in focus, as investors expect a rate
hike of 50 basis points amid soaring inflation.
Key U.S. economic data due this week include producer price
index, retail sales, housing starts and industrial production.
The greenback reached as high as 0.9945 against the franc, its
highest level since May 18. The greenback is likely to target
resistance around the 1.02 region.
The greenback touched multi-week highs of 1.0445 against the
euro and 1.2162 against the pound, coming off from its previous
lows of 1.0520 and 1.2321, respectively. The next possible
resistance for the greenback is seen around 1.00 against the euro
and 1.19 against the pound.
Reversing from its early lows of 0.7044 against the aussie and
0.6350 against the kiwi, the greenback moved up to multi-week highs
of 0.6957 and 0.6276, respectively. The greenback may find
resistance around 0.68 against the aussie and 0.60 against the
kiwi.
The greenback was up against the loonie, at nearly a 3-week high
of 1.2868. If the greenback rises further, it may find resistance
around the 1.30 level.
In contrast, the greenback pulled back to 133.83 against the
yen, from more than a 20-year high of 135.20 seen in the Asian
session. The greenback is seen finding support around the 128.00
mark.
