📈 U.S. Dollar Strengthens Amid Robust Economic Data

Recent figures reported by BlockBeats highlight continued strength in the U.S. economy, with the dollar climbing for five straight days, marking its longest winning streak since February. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose 0.3%, reaching its highest level since June 23.

This surge comes on the heels of strong economic and inflation data released Wednesday, exceeding expectations. A rebound in consumer spending helped drive economic activity in Q2, while the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — the core PCE index — increased by 2.5% year-over-year.

📊 On the labor front, ADP private sector employment data confirmed the job market remains resilient. According to Crédit Agricole’s Valentin Marinov, markets may interpret these results as a signal that Fed rate cuts could be slower and more delayed. If Chair Jerome Powell sticks with his neutral policy stance, the dollar’s yield advantage may continue to grow.
