Dollar dips as Powell testimony disappoints hawks
  + stars: | 2023-06-21 | by ( Saqib Iqbal Ahmed | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Powell told lawmakers the fight against inflation still "has a long way to go" and that despite a recent pause in interest rate hikes officials agreed borrowing costs would likely need to move higher. While noting that inflation remains very far from the Fed's target, Powell said it may make sense to still raise rates, at a more moderate pace. The dollar index , which measures the currency against six rivals, fell 0.43% to 102.07 following Powell's testimony to the House Financial Affairs Committee. Investors broadly expect rate hikes to resume at the Fed's July meeting, though financial market indicators reflect doubts that the Fed will deliver more increases beyond that. YEN UNDER PRESSURE, STERLING SEESAWSThe euro was 0.62 % higher against the dollar at $ 1.0985 .

After an initial rise, sterling fell as much as 0.56% against the dollar to a low of $1.2691 following this month's inflation figures. Investors and money managers now turn their focus to Fed chief Jerome Powell's testimony before Congress at 10:00 a.m. "The former may do more to give additional support to send the dollar index and (bond) yields higher." The rally against the yen pushed the U.S. dollar index , which measures the currency against six major peers, up slightly to 102.58. "The Aussie could dip below 0.6700 this week, particularly if Powell is hawkish," he said.

Sterling briefly rose as far as 0.3% against the dollar to $1.2803 before settling back to $1.2765. It also rose slightly on the euro and yen , as traders were betting the Bank of England would need to take rates higher. Powell is due to begin his testimony before Congress at 1400 GMT. "The former may do more to give additional support to send the dollar index and yields higher." "The Aussie could dip below 0.6700 this week, particularly if Powell is hawkish," he said.

SummarySummary Companies U.S. housing starts surge; dollar drifts higherTraders await UK CPI and Powell testimonySINGAPORE, June 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar was firm in Asia trade on Wednesday following surprisingly strong U.S. housing data, while the yuan and Aussie dollar nursed losses and focus turned to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's appearance before Congress later in the day. The yen was also firm at 140.50 per dollar ahead of an appearance by Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda on Wednesday. The Aussie and yuan were Tuesday's largest losers and were in no mood for a bounce early on Wednesday. The yuan fell about 0.3% overnight and in offshore trade early on Wednesday the currency was pinned at 7.1826 per dollar, near a seven-month low. It is under pressure after the central bank flagged it was finished with hikes, while data showed the economy in recession.

Michael Cuggino, the president and portfolio manager of the Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, says the current economic situation is a tale of two sides. The firm has two fixed-income funds, an aggressive growth equities fund, and a diversified fund known as the Permanent Portfolio that has been around since 1982. Last year, the permanent portfolio fund outperformed 93% of similar funds, according to Morningstar data. So far this year, it has been the growth stocks that are benefiting. The top four signals he's keeping an eye on are, first, a rapid increase in the unemployment rate, which would hit consumer spending and permeate other parts of the economy.

The phrase "financially comfortable" can mean different things to different people, whether that's having enough money to stay out of debt or being able to buy a second home. One thing is certain: The amount of money Americans say makes you financially comfortable changes depending on where you live. The amount varies by almost $1 million between cities, according to an analysis of 13 major U.S. metropolitan areas by financial services company Charles Schwab. For the purposes of the study, feeling financially comfortable is considered different from feeling rich. They ranged from $2.5 million in Denver to $4.7 million in San Francisco — the highest amount of all cities listed.

The application came a week after the Securities and Exchange Commission sued two of the biggest crypto exchanges, Binance and Coinbase.

A crypto exchange backed by financial giants Charles Schwab , Fidelity Digital Assets and Citadel Securities has officially launched trading in four crypto assets, the company said Tuesday. EDX Markets first announced its launch plans for a "non-custodial" exchange in September, about two months before the collapse of FTX. The EDX exchange allows trading of bitcoin , ether , litecoin and bitcoin cash – none of which were named "crypto asset securities" in the lawsuits the Securities and Exchange Commission brought against Binance and Coinbase two weeks ago. EDX also has plans to launch a clearinghouse business this year to facilitate the settlement process but will still keep customer assets held at third-party banks and a crypto custodian. The company is set to announce Tuesday that it has closed a second funding round with new investors, including the options-exchange operator Miami International Holdings and affiliates of proprietary trading firms DV Trading, GTS, GSR and Hudson River Trading.

Many Pride organizers across the country say high-profile brand backlashes, restrictive legislation and heightened threats against LGBTQ people have fueled record crowd turnout this year. Most of the Pride organizers NBC News spoke with, including Snider, declined to identify corporate sponsors that shrunk their involvement or visibility, concerned about alienating important financial backers. Like Indy Pride, Pride organizations are typically nonprofit organizations that also offer year-round services to the LGBTQ community, such as grants, educational events and support for political activism. Josh Coleman, president of Central Alabama Pride in Birmingham, said some longtime corporate sponsors dropped out this year, including Wells Fargo. Kendra Johnson, executive director of Equality NC, said threats against the community and Pride events have risen dramatically throughout North Carolina.

Read our review Read Our Review A looong arrow, pointing rightWhy you should consider an automated bond portfolioWealthfront's automated bond portfolio pays a 5.59% yield, which is higher than Wealthfront's own cash account that pays 4.55% to 5.05%. Also, the automated bond portfolio may be tax-advantaged, but there's no guarantee that it will work.

It also invests in a blend of commission-free bond ETFs and iShares bond ETFs.

D3sign | Moment | Getty ImagesHuman psychology and money don't mix well. Left unchecked, our psyches can easily sabotage financial decision-making, behavioral experts said during a panel discussion at CNBC's Financial Advisor Summit. "We're all crazy when it comes to money," said Brad Klontz, managing principal of YMW Advisors in Boulder, Colorado, and a founder of the Financial Psychology Institute. Additionally, feelings of shame, such as thinking we have too much or too little money, are pervasive, experts added. It's kind of like a thumbprint, so it's very unique," added Cherry, a CFP and member of the CNBC Financial Advisor Council.

June 14 (Reuters) - Charles Schwab (SCHW.N) expects its second-quarter revenue to drop by 10% to 11% due to a contraction in its net interest margin and softer trading activity, the brokerage firm said on Wednesday. The majority of these borrowings could be repaid before the end of 2024, Schwab said. Analysts have warned of a compression in net interest margins for financial firms, as the Fed's rate hikes drain excessive liquidity. Further increases in interest rates could add to pressure on Schwab's earnings, William Blair analysts Jeff Schmitt and Tyler Mulier wrote in a note. Fed policymakers on Wednesday left interest rates steady but signaled they would rise by half a percentage point by the end of the year.

Many Americans feel wealthy — but don't necessarily measure it in dollars and cents. Well-being, not money, has become the leading measure of wealth for most adults today, according to the new Charles Schwab Modern Wealth Survey. It takes an average net worth of $2.2 million to be considered "wealthy," the survey found — but that's the estimate respondents gave for other people. Yet their average net worth is $560,000 — about a quarter of what they think others need to be rich. For millennials who say they feel wealthy, their average net worth is about $530,000.
