New records will either be made or lost this week because not only do we have a very busy economic calendar, but Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will also be delivering his semi-annual testimony on the economy and monetary policy. The weakness of the US dollar and continual rise in oil prices will keep the Federal Reserve hawkish as they bank their hopes for a second half recovery on the movements of the US currency.
The US Dollar consolidated near multi-decade lows against most major currency pairs, but a sharp British Pound rally led it to fresh 26-year peaks against its cross-Atlantic counterpart.
The NZD/USD hit a post-float high breaking above the 7900 barrier after hotter inflation readings that printed at 1.0% vs. 0.8% on a quarter over quarter basis.
