The dollar inched higher Wednesday and will remain the king of the currency playground until U.S. "economic exceptionalism" cools, paving the way for the Federal Reserve to lay out a clearer map for rate cuts. The Fed remains "far and away more hawkish sounding than the ECB, BoE, BoC, and RBA," Macquarie says, noting that the PCE price index on Friday and U.S. GDP on Thursday will be closely watched. The bump in the road for the dollar, however, could come only after the summer, Macquarie, though cautions that a various factors will need to come together including a further slowing inflation, slowing euro-area growth and easing geopolitical turmoil. There some signs, however, that other economies on the mend as recent data1 economic data from UK and Euro surprised the upside and helped GBP/USD and the EUR/USD rebound yesterday, but "it will take a more sustained period of outperformance by the rest-of-the world to shake confidence in US economic exceptionalism."
