Week in Review: Fed hike bets put the dollar at 19-month highs; gold, silver and bitcoin take the hit

The week belonged to the Fed. A hot US CPI on Tuesday (0.4% MoM vs 0.3% forecast, core 0.3% vs 0.2%) and a run of hawkish Fed speakers built roughly 85bp of Dec/Jan hikes into the curve.

New York Open: Dollar firm into US PPI; USDCHF extends, EURUSD sits on its 19-month low

US October PPI at 13:30 UTC is the event.

London Open: Crypto rout deepens in Asia, BTC under $69K; dollar steady at highs into US PPI

Crypto did the damage overnight. BTCUSD is down 3.41% since the Asia Open at 68867.01 and ETHUSD is down 4.14% at 1931.3, after more than $1.4B of liquidations and ETF outflows.

Asia Open: Quiet Asia open: USDJPY parked at 159.85 under 160.00, Williams is first test

Little has changed since the Daily Wrap. USDJPY is flat at 159.849 and EURUSD at 1.1055 is trading a range just 0.05 times normal.
