On Thursday, market participants are cautious ahead of tomorrow's CPI publication in the U.S. Authoritative Bloomberg expects inflation to rise from 6.2% to 6.8%-7%. In case such a scenario materializes, the dollar will go up along with Treasury yields. However, the slowdown in consumer prices will create serious problems for the Fed. The head of the U.S. regulator has convinced investors in the aggressive monetary policy. Part of the market believes that QE will be phased out as early as March and the first rate hike will take place in the first quarter of 2022. The Fed will have a hard time resetting if things do not go according to plan, which will lead to a sell-off of the dollar. This development is also likely and part of the market confirms the fears by buying assets with a high beta coefficient. It is also worth noting that the risks off the virus have gone down after Pfizer announced that it was able to neutralize omicron in a laboratory setting.

AUD/USD and NZD/USD are rising on increased risk appetite among investors. The Australian dollar is more attractive and outperforms the NZD amid a rebound in economic activity after the lock-up. The USD/CAD dynamics can be characterized as a downtrend correction. Some traders were disappointed with the key rate kept by the Canadian regulator, however most of the market understood the caution of the Bank of Canada, given the fact that Omicron has already penetrated into North America.
Brent and WTI maintain strong upside potential. According to epidemiological studies, the new strain COVID-19 is not as dangerous as previously thought.
