• Robust employment growth reported in March, with the NFP increasing above 303K, reflects a healthy US economy, which may lead the Federal Reserve to reconsider its stance on rate cuts.
• This positive economic outlook has contributed to an increase in Treasury yields, making the US dollar more attractive to investors. Furthermore, market dynamics suggest that there is a possibility of significant technical breaches in major currency pairs, indicating potential strength for the dollar, especially if the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data due this week show a rise in inflation.
• Contrasting policy stances between central banks, with expected dovish adjustments from the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Canada (BoC) compared to the Federal Reserve, could further bolster the appeal of the US dollar.
