U.S. Dollar Rises, Trump Tariff Policies In Focus

The U.S. dollar strengthened against other major currencies in
the Asian session on Tuesday, as U.S. President Donald Trump warned
of higher universal tariffs and said he'll soon impose tariffs on
foreign-produced semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and some metals in
a push to increase U.S. production of the products.
In another major development, Scott Bessent, whom the Financial
Times said backed gradual universal levies, was confirmed as the
new Treasury Secretary under President Trump..
The U.S. Federal Reserve is widely expected to leave interest
rates unchanged at its January meeting on Wednesday, but traders
are likely to pay close attention to the accompanying statement for
clues about the outlook for rates.
To justify further loosening, the Fed needs evidence of economic
weakness and more subdued inflation prints.
Most economists expect the U.S. central bank to resume cutting
rates only sometime in the first half of the year.
In the Asian trading today, the U.S. dollar rose to a 4-day high
of 1.0425 against the euro, from yesterday's closing value of
1.0437. The greenback may test resistance around the 1.02
region.
Against the pound, the yen and the Swiss franc, the greenback
edged up to 1.2435, 155.95 and 0.9060 from Monday's closing quotes
of 1.2451, 154.92 and 0.9045, respectively. If the greenback
extends its uptrend, it is likely to find resistance around 1.21
against the pound, 158.00 against the yen and 0.91 against the
franc.
Against the Australia and the New Zealand dollars, the greenback
advanced to a 1-week high of 0.6246 and a 5-day high of 0.5653 from
Monday's closing quotes of 0.6260 and 0.5664, respectively. On the
upside, 0.60 against the aussie and 0.55 against the kiwi are seen
as the next resistance levels for the greenback.
The greenback climbed to a 5-day high of 1.4408 against the
Canadian dollar, from an early low of 1.4381. The greenback is
likely to find resistance around the 1.46 region.
Looking ahead, U.S. durable goods orders for December, U.S.
Redbook report, house price index for November, U.S. Consumer
Board's consumer confidence for January and U.S. Richmond
manufacturing index for January are slated for release.
