US Aug business inventories MoM 0.4% (est. 0.4%); July revised to 0.9% from 0.80%.

ING analyst Chris Turner said that despite US inflation on Wednesday exceeding expectations, mounting concerns about AI-sector debt burdens pushed the dollar and US Treasury yields to give back earlier gains. Turner said the dollar did not rally as a safe haven and weakened as markets scaled back expectations for further Fed hikes. Narrowing Swiss interest-rate differentials made the Swiss franc the main beneficiary. He added investors will closely watch the debt positions of major AI bond issuers; any further selloff could put additional pressure on the dollar.
