The US central bank is on track to cut interest rates in September, analysts say. The US dollar in particular has been sold off on the news of the rate cut. Meanwhile, the US dollar has recently supported oil prices by making them cheaper for buyers using other currencies.
Oil prices rose after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell spoke at the annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Powell stressed that “upside risks to inflation have diminished,” “downside risks to employment have increased,” and “it is time for policy to adjust.” The path forward is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, the changing outlook, and the balance of risks, Powell said.
After Mr. Powell’s speech, the USD index fell to around 101.45, pushing oil prices up. In addition, crude oil inventories in the US also fell sharply and are forecast to continue to decrease in the third quarter.
