The above chart illustrates the US dollar weakness seen during the last 5 days of trading.

While this week's key economic data calendar will focus on US inflation, trader focus could look towards last week's commodities price moves.

US Inflation data due at 12:30 UTC on Wednesday:

*Core US consumer price index (CPI) year on year is forecasted to have fallen 0.3%, from 5.3% to 5% during the month of June 2023.

Recent USD weakness may have triggered an increase in speculation that USD-sensitive commodities could see an increase in demand as non-USD based physical commodities traders stock up on commodities priced in USD.
