Everyone was expecting US inflation to rise, but no one could have imagined that consumer prices would accelerate to 3.5%. After all, inflation was forecasted to rise from 3.2% to 3.4%. Therefore, it is not surprising that the dollar surged. Moreover, there are speculations that the Federal Reserve might even raise the rate in the summer. Such reasoning is not without merit, considering that inflation has picked up for the second consecutive month, and faster than expected. However, for the most part, market participants lean towards the idea that interest rates will start to be lowered in the fall. Although it seems that these expectations will be revised soon.
For now, the market has slightly pulled back, which is quite logical. Nevertheless, the dollar will likely rise in the end. Today, the main event is the European Central Bank meeting, and its results could support the dollar. Most likely, the ECB will finally specify when it will begin to lower rates. After all, inflation in Europe is not just slowing down but is also approaching the target level of 2.0%. So, the ECB is dealing with a different situation compared to the Federal Reserve.
