At the end of a quiet week we saw the US dollar fall a little further on Friday. NAB’s Ray Attrill says this reflects the expectation that there will be no further hikes from the Fed. The Aussie dollar hasn’t realised the full potential, largely because of question marks over the speed of the Chinese recovery. There was mixed economic news at the end of the week; US PMIs were a little softer than expected, particularly for manufacturing. It seems Black Friday online sales were strong, and retail sales in New Zealand and Canada were better than expected. So, will too much resilience add to inflation woes. The BoE’s Huw Pill says supply constraints continue to be the issue so they need to hammer demand down to meet it. The key number this week will be the PCE inflation data out of the US. Nobody wants to see that tick up again.
