Recession fear subside, greenback follow suit.
“Bullard says recession fears are premature.”
Greenback eases from the top, trimming some of its gains from last week as recession fears abate. Last Friday, St Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard commented that recession fears are over exaggerated as the US economy is still buoyant. In addition, Bullard expressed that aggressive response via policy tightening is the best way to address high inflation before its too late. Following his remarks, traders shifted their attention to risky assets in the market, abandoning the bull bandwagon on the greenback.
