US Dollar Mixed Early Monday; Focus on Inflation, Retail Sales Data, Warsh Testimony

The US dollar was mixed against its major trading partners early Monday -- up versus the pound and yen, down versus the euro and Canadian dollar -- as markets turn their attention this week to inflation and retail sales data for June, as well as semi-annual testimony from Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh. Monday's schedule is light, with a speech by Fed Governor Christopher Waller at 12:30 pm ET and the US Treasury's June budget statement due at 2:00 pm ET. Consumer price data for June are the statistical highlight of Tuesday's schedule, released shortly before Warsh's first day of testimony. Small business sentiment data for June and weekly Redbook same-store sales will also be released. Wednesday's highlights include producer price data for June, the New York Federal Reserve's Empire State manufacturing reading for July, the Fed's Beige Book report, and Warsh's second day of testimony. Thursday's busy schedule includes weekly jobless claims, retail sales data for June, the New York Fed's services reading for July, the Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing data for July, pending home sales data for June, and home builder sentiment data for July.
