DXY: Fed repricing supports US currency – Deutsche Bank
Deutsche Bank analysts note that strong United States (US) Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data have reinforced perceptions of economic resilience and rising price pressures, leading markets to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts. With only a small probability of easing priced by year-end and US yields firmer, this backdrop is broadly supportive for the US Dollar Index (DXY).
US resilience curbs Fed cut pricing
"In fact, the flash composite PMI for April moved up to 52.0 (vs. 50.6 expected), with both the manufacturing (54.0) and services prints (51.3) coming in above expectations, while the subindices also pointed to rising price pressures."
"This saw markets dial down remaining Fed cut pricing, with a cut by year-end now only 20% priced, down from 30% at Wednesday’s close."
"Still, with the cacophony of headlines showing no signs of de-escalation, oil prices held onto most of their gains, while both 2yr (+3.6bps) and 10yr (+2.3bps) US Treasury yields closed higher on the day."
"We have seen some stablisation of these moves overnight, with both S&P 500 futures (-0.06%) and 10yr Treasury yields little changed."

NVIDIA ignites a new Wall Street expectation: $1 trillion revenue sprint for FY2028?
Nvidia's latest financial report has once again shocked the market, with management forecasting a revenue increase of over 70% for fiscal year 2028, far exceeding Wall Street's consensus estimate of 45%. Institutions such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Bernstein are unanimously bullish, and some analysts boldly predict that reaching $1 trillion in revenue for fiscal year 2029 is "not impossible." With mass production of the next-generation chip platform Vera Rubin imminent, accelerating demand combined with supply constraints suggests that the current guidance may be a conservative figure.

"Federal Reserve Communications News Agency": History Repeats Itself—In the Face of War, Bagehot Tests the "Boundaries Between the Federal Reserve and the Treasury"
Nick Timiraos from "Fed Communications Agency" believes that Bessent’s announcement to at least double the repurchase of long-term Treasury bonds aims to lower long-term yields, which have reached 19-year highs; this move comes at a time when the Federal Reserve may need to tighten financial conditions. If the intervention succeeds, it will prompt more FOMC officials to favor a rate hike. Coupled with Bessent's previous interventions in the Japanese yen, personnel and monetary policy at the Atlanta Fed, the historical boundaries between the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve are being tested from multiple directions.
