FxPremiere.com Forex Signals – NEW YORK (Reuters) – The U.S. dollar slid on Monday, after posting its biggest weekly rise in more than two months last week, while markets embraced a risk-on mood with weak data suggesting the Federal Reserve is unlikely to quickly remove its accommodative stance quickly.

U.S. business activity growth slowed for a third straight month in August as capacity constraints, supply shortages and the rapidly spreading Delta variant of the coronavirus weakened the economic rebound, Data firm IHS Markit showed.

“Today is about a little risk-on rebound. You have almost every risky asset rally here,” Edward Moya, senior market analyst at foreign exchange brokerage OANDA in New York.

The dollar index hit a nine-month high last week, climbing nearly 5% from May lows, as investors firmed up bets the Fed will start scaling back pandemic-era stimulus policies ahead of Europe and Japan.

But Robert Kaplan, president of the Dallas Fed, dented those expectations on Friday when the well-known hawk said he might reconsider the need for an early start to tapering if the virus harms the economy.

Markets have concluded there’s not going to be a ‘taper tantrum’ like in 2013, Moya said. Fears the Fed would tighten monetary policy caused interest rates to spike at the time.

“Despite the inevitable announcement of tapering at some point this year, it’s going to be very slow and it’s not going to signal any imminent rate hikes at the end of next year,” he said.

Riskier currencies, including the Aussie, Norwegian crown and the Canadian dollar were among the major beneficiaries of a weaker dollar.

Canada’s commodities-heavy stock index inched toward record highs as oil prices rebounded from a seven-day losing streak.

The dollar index, which measures its performance against a basket of six major currencies, fell 0.415% to 93.066.

The euro was up 0.37% at $1.1739, while the Japanese yen traded down 0.04% at 109.7600.

Some investors, such as Stephen Jen who runs hedge fund Eurizon SLJ Capital, remain long-term dollar bulls.

“Maybe I was too early in making this call, but a muscular U.S. economy that is centred on technology and one that embraces creative destruction will likely enjoy elevated trend growth in the years ahead,” Jen said.
