• US Dollar depreciates as investors digest inflation data.
• Fed rate cut expectations rise following dovish comments.
• On the data front, Consumer Confidence improves slightly in early September.

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the USD against a basket of currencies, is posting losses on Friday as markets continue digesting this week's inflation data. At the end of the week, there was a slight increase in expectations that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates by 50 bps in the next week’s meeting.

The US economy remains robust, with growth exceeding expectations. However, financial markets may be overestimating the likelihood of aggressive monetary policy easing. This is evident in the elevated valuations of certain assets. Investors should exercise caution and consider that the economic outlook may not warrant the current pricing practices.
