US Dollar Index: Higher yields and Fed pricing support – Deutsche Bank
Deutsche Bank strategists note that rising US yields and stronger data have pushed market pricing for a Fed rate hike by December to 81%, helping support the Dollar Index. They highlight firmer ISM services and ADP payrolls, alongside higher US inflation swaps, as investors reassess the path of US policy relative to the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of Japan (BoJ).
Fed hike odds bolster Dollar outlook
"With oil prices rising again, that led to a renewed bout of concerns around inflation on both sides of the Atlantic."
"For instance, the US 1yr inflation swap (+6.8bps) was back up to 3.18%, whilst the Euro 1yr inflation swap (+6.5bps) was up to 3.05%."
"With that data in hand, the probability of a Fed rate hike by December was up to 81% at the close, up from 71% the previous day."
"And similarly in Europe, the number of ECB hikes priced by December was up to 68bps, up from 65bps the previous day."
"Meanwhile in Japan, markets have also priced in a growing chance of a rate hike, as BoJ Governor Ueda signalled in a speech yesterday that it may need to be considered."

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.
Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?
Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.
"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test
Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
