Dollar slides as rate hike prospects ease, oil gains moderate
Context
The dollar slid Tuesday after a drop in US inflation dented expectations of an interest rate hike later this month. Earlier Tuesday, the market saw a roughly 40 percent probability of a US interest rate hike this month, but that fell to 13 percent after the CPI data was published.
What it means
A surprise drop in US inflation that sharply cuts Fed rate-hike odds has historically been associated with a weaker dollar, firmer gold, and a lift to rate-sensitive equities like tech. Oil gets a modest additional boost as a weaker dollar makes dollar-denominated commodities cheaper for foreign buyers. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
