Rising U.S. inflation pushes up bets on Fed rate hikes, euro falls to 17-month low
The euro fell to a 17-month low as buoyant U.S. inflation data boosted bets on the Federal Reserve raising interest rates.
Editorial Comment
Hot inflation in the United States has strengthened expectations of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes. Interest rate differentials have directly suppressed the euro and pushed up the dollar. The exchange rate has quickly reflected changes in interest rate expectations. For gold, a stronger U.S. dollar may pose short-term pressure, and we need to pay attention to whether the Fed's policy signals and inflation data continue this logic.
