USD rebounded as NY Fed President quashed hopes of March 2024 rate cut. He emphasized Fed’s focus on determining if the current monetary policy is “sufficiently restrictive” to bring inflation back down to the 2% target. He also highlighted the unpredictable nature of economic data, suggesting Fed must be prepared to “tighten the policy further, if the progress of inflation were to stall or reverse.”

Euro also traded lower on weaker than expected PMI data. PMI Composite index decreased from 47.6 to 47.0. This ongoing contraction underscores the challenges facing the Eurozone economy, with a high likelihood that it has been in a recession since the third quarter.
