The U.S dollar fell a bit in thin pre-holiday trade on Thursday, digesting a slew of indicators that underlined U.S. economic resilience while investors assessed the risk that President-elect Donald Trump will start a tariff war that no one will win.
The decline further unwound the dollar’s recent rally. Few traders were interested in building or holding positions before a long Thanksgiving weekend for many of them that dovetails with month end. Markets are closed on Thursday and exchanges close early on Friday.
Also, revised data showing gross domestic product rose at a 2.8% rate in the third quarter, as expected and the same as last month’s first estimate, did not do much to bolster the case for the Federal Reserve to ease again next month, although traders still leaned that way, lifting odds a bit to 67%.

Neither did consumer spending data that showed progress on lowering inflation appears to have stalled in recent months while the economy retained much of its solid growth momentum early in the fourth quarter. While October durable goods orders rose a smaller-than-expected 0.2%, applications for unemployment benefits at 213,000 were a bit lower than last week’s upwardly revised 215,000 jobless claims, indicating a solid labor market.

The market generally expected that the inflation would pop up a little bit, but it is not getting out of hand. Therefore, this paves the way for a 25-basis point cut in December and then probably a pause. But the pause won’t likely be due to inflation data, but because of uncertainties over Trump’s tariffs.
