The British Pound rallied about 0.5% against the US Dollar on Wednesday to seven-week highs above 1.3480. The Dollar fell broadly after early results showed Democrats winning control of the House and Senate in the US midterm elections.
A weaker Dollar on fading fiscal-stimulus expectations and lower Treasury yields can support dollar-priced commodities, while a firmer Pound reflects expectations of a Bank of England rate hike. The direct effect on feed commodity prices is modest.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
