Greenback goes even lower

Wednesday 28th January 2026NAB Markets Research Disclaimer Financial Services Guide | Information on our services - NABThe dollar has weakened again, lifting the Aussie and most majors, while oil, equities and spot gold all pushed higher in a broadly risk‑positive session. Bond moves are mild but yields are edging up across several markets, and silver is having a wild swing lower. Taylor Nugent joins us as the NAB Business Survey shows a rebound in conditions and confidence, capacity utilisation easing only slightly, and Q4 CPI likely to come in above the RBA’s forecast — all reinforcing the chance of a February rate hike. With the Fed tonight, a hawkish tone could unsettle markets given sticky inflation, softer jobs data and a sharp drop in US consumer confidence, alongside rising political tension and the risk of a partial government shutdown. We also have the Bank of Canada, NZ filled‑jobs data and a huge slate of tech earnings still to come. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
