The dollar held to tight ranges on Monday as investors were undecided on the scale of a Fed rate cut expected later this month and looked to this week's US inflation reading for more clues.
Futures show a 35% chance that the central bank could ease rates by 50 bps next week. Policymakers on Friday signalled they are ready to kick off a series of interest rate cuts.
The Australian dollar recovered from a roughly three-week low. Iron ore fell below $90 a ton for the first time since late 2022, weighed down by immediate challenges facing China’s steel sector.
