Top Gainers and Losers: the American dollar and the Japanese yen
Top Gainers - global market
Over the past 7 days, the US dollar index continued to rise for the 3rd week in a row. Investors do not rule out a further increase in the Fed rate by another 0.25% - up to 5% from the current level of 4.75%. According to CME FedWatch, the probability of this at the Fed meeting on March 22 reaches 82%. The strengthening of the Swedish krona contributed to good data on unemployment. It contracted in January and hit a multi-year low of 6.5%. In addition, the krone continued to win back positively in the form of an increase in the Sveriges Riksbank rate on February 9 to a multi-year high of 3%. Note that on the same day, the Bank of Mexico unexpectedly raised the rate to 11%. This caused the peso to appreciate. The weakening of the yen was supported by a sluggish advance in the preliminary Japan Gross Domestic Product for the 4th quarter of 2022, as well as a record Japan Trade Balance deficit in January. Investors are awaiting the appointment of a new Bank of Japan Governor in the next few days. Earlier, the Japanese government nominated Kazuo Ueda for this post.
