USD's slump accelerated as increasing political uncertainty, accompanying disappointing inflation data, has intensified concerns over the country's growth outlook. Four consecutive days of selloff, accumulating loss of over -2%, has sent the DXY index to a 6-month low of 97.33 before recovery. Leading the rally against US dollar was the euro. With removal of one political risk after the French election, the market has turned its attention to the region's economy of which the development have been encouraging. Rebound in inflation and positive sentiment indices have raised speculations that the ECB would add some hawkish twists in its forward guidance. EURUSD has rallied as much as +2.7% over the past 4 trading days. The sustainability of the single currency's strength depends on the tone of ECB and FOMC meeting statements in June.
