SINGAPORE : The dollar lolled near an eight-month low against its peers on Thursday, as a gloomy U.S. corporate earnings season stoked recession fears and as traders stayed on guard ahead of a slew of central bank meetings next week.
Downbeat earnings and guidance from U.S. corporates and a string of tech sector layoffs have deepened fears of an economic downturn in the United States, leading investors to pare back expectations on how much longer the Federal Reserve will need to aggressively raise interest rates. The Fed's policy-setting committee will begin a two-day meeting next week, and markets have priced in a 25-basis-point interest rate hike, a step down from the central bank's 50 bp and 75 bp increases seen last year.
"The euro does draw a lot of attention," said Jarrod Kerr, chief economist at Kiwibank. The euro zone"had a favourable winter .... The energy crisis that people were expecting hasn't quite played out yet."
