The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the US Dollar from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent USD (base)/JPY (quote).
Earlier in the day, reports from the Times of Israel stated that a US official signaled that Washington is still committed to the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Iran and technical talks are still on despite US President Donald Trump declaring that the MoU is over and the exchange of attacks between the two.
On Wednesday, US President Trump also said that Iran called for making a deal, but “I just don’t know if they’re worthy of making a deal”, CNBC reported.
Signs of US-Iran war de-escalation diminish the safe-haven appeal of the US Dollar. However, higher oil prices due to renewed energy supply disruption fears have de-anchored inflation projections, which are likely to limit the US Dollar’s downside.
Technically, higher inflation expectations discourage Federal Reserve (Fed) officials from lowering interest rates.
On the monetary policy front, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has unveiled members of five task forces, as promised in the June policy announcement, which will be focused on communications, the balance sheet policy, improving the quality and timeliness of economic data, productivity and jobs and developing inflation frameworks.
