US Dollar closer to 100.00
The index has recovered from yesterday’s pullback and is now trading closer to the psychological mark at 100.00, all backed by mounting expectations of a Fed’s rate hike at its December meeting. In fact, probabilities of a lift-off next month remain around 70% and slightly above for a January hike.
On the data front, Export Prices have contracted 0.2% from September to October, while Import Prices have followed suit, down 0.5% during the same period.
