The dollar index (DXY00) fell from a 7-week high on Friday and finished down by -0.03%. The dollar gave its advance on Friday on weaker-than-expected US economic news that showed Aug manufacturing production and Aug leading indicators unexpectedly declined. Also, Friday's -1% fall in WTI crude oil eased inflation expectations and could persuade the Fed to loosen monetary policy, a bearish factor for the dollar.
The dollar initially moved higher on Friday on weakness in the yen, which fell to a 2-week low today. Higher T-note yields on Friday also supported the dollar. The dollar also has carryover support from Wednesday when the FOMC raised interest rates by 25 bp and signaled another rate hike by the end of the year. The dollar fell from its best level after US

The dollar index (DXY00) fell from a new 1.5-month high on Thursday and finished down by -0.03%. The dollar posted modest losses on Thursday as a sharp rally in stocks curbed demand for dollar liquidity. Lower T-note yields on Thursday also weighed on the dollar.
Dollar losses were limited Thursday after US weekly jobless claims unexpectedly fell to an 8-week low, signaling a strong labor market. The dollar also has carryover support from Wednesday when the FOMC raised interest rates by 25 bp and signaled another rate hike by the end of the year.

The dollar index (DXY00) rallied to a 1.5-month high on Wednesday and finished up by +0.64%. The dollar found support Wednesday on signs of US economic growth after Aug retail sales rose more than expected. The dollar raced to its high Wednesday afternoon after the FOMC raised interest rates by 25 bp and signaled another rate hike by the end of the year. The dollar also found support after the FOMC raised its US 2026 GDP forecast and its core inflation estimate.
US Aug retail sales rose +1.2% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.8% m/m and the biggest increase in 5 months. Aug retail sales ex-autos rose +1.4% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.6% m/m.

Higher stocks today have curbed demand for dollar liquidity. Also, the larger-than-expected decline in the Sep NAHB housing market index is negative for the dollar. In addition, today's -2% decline in WTI crude oil lowers inflation expectations and is dovish for Fed policy and bearish for the dollar.

The dollar index (DXY00) rose by +0.14% on Tuesday, just below Monday's 1.5-week high. Tuesday's +4% surge in WTI crude oil prices raised inflation expectations and could persuade the Fed to tighten monetary policy, supporting the dollar. Also, Tuesday's increase in the 10-year T-note yield to a 19-year high of 5.04% strengthens the dollar's interest rate differentials. In addition, expectations that the Fed will raise interest rates by 25 bp at the Tue/Wed FOMC meeting support the dollar. The dollar fell from its best level on Tuesday after the Sep Empire manufacturing survey came in weaker than expected.

The dollar index (DXY00) on Friday rose by +0.06%. The dollar found support as a hawkish US CPI report pushed odds of an FOMC rate hike next week up to 88% from 75% on Thursday. Also, the 10-year T-note yield on Friday rose by +0.6 bp, supporting the dollar's interest rate differentials.
Friday's -2.4% decline in oil prices initially caused the 10-year T-note yield to drop, despite the CPI report. However, the CPI report caught up with the T-note market by the end of the day, and the 10-year T-note yield ended slightly higher.

The dollar index (DXY00) recovered from a 2.5-week low on Wednesday and finished up by +0.06%. The dollar found support on Wednesday after WTI crude oil surged +3 % to a 3.25-month high, boosting inflation expectations and potentially persuading the Fed to tighten monetary policy. Also, short covering emerged in the dollar on Wednesday after the US Treasury announced it would purchase $6 billion of long-term US government debt securities on Thursday, below expectations of $10 billion. In addition, Wednesday's increase in the 10-year T-note yield to a 2.75-year high of 4.85% has strengthened the dollar's interest rate differentials.
The dollar initially moved lower on Wednesday amid strength in the yen after US Treasury Secretary Bessent challenged traders to test his resolve on strengthening the yen.

In addition, strength in stocks on Wednesday reduced liquidity demand for the dollar.
The dollar initially moved higher on Wednesday after escalation of US-Iran hostilities boosted crude oil prices and pushed the 10-year T-note yield to a 2.75-year high, strengthening the dollar's interest rate differentials.

The dollar index (DXY00) is down by -0.16% today. The dollar is modestly lower today, consolidating below last Friday's 2-week high. Today's rally in the Chinese yuan to a 3.5-year high is undercutting the dollar.
However, losses in the dollar are limited today as WTI crude oil climbs more than +2% to a 1-week high, which raises inflation expectations and could potentially persuade the Fed to raise interest rates, a supportive factor for the dollar. Also, weaker stocks today have boosted some liquidity demand for the dollar, and higher T-note yields have strengthened the dollar's interest rate differentials. Finally, the dollar has some carryover support from last Friday, when Fed Chair Warsh warned inflation isn't meaningfully slowing and vowed that policymakers will return inflation to their 2% target. The chance of a Fed rate hike at next month's FOMC meeting rose to 63% today from 36% before Warsh's speech.

In addition, safe-haven demand for the dollar was reduced today after the New York Times reported the US State Department is preparing to send US diplomats back to embassies in the Middle East that were evacuated before and during the war with Iran, suggesting that the Trump administration does not anticipate a return to all-out hostilities with Iran.

The dollar is also being undercut by reduced safe-haven demand as President Trump appears to have given up on plans for any new major military attack on Iran for the time being, favoring economic pressure instead. Treasury Secretary Bessent said last Friday that the administration will soon announce unprecedented economic measures against Iran that "have never been seen in the history of economic isolation of a country." Yet, the military conflict continues as there were reports that Iran attacked two Abu Dhabi oil vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday night.

The dollar index (DXY00) on Thursday ended the day little changed despite downward pressure from the dovish US PPI report, which lowered the odds of a Fed rate hike in September to 35% from 40% on Wednesday. In addition, the 10-year T-note yield fell -5 bp, undercutting the dollar's interest rate differentials.
The dollar was also undercut by reduced safe-haven demand as there were no overnight reports of new military attacks by the US or Iran in the Persian Gulf. Market concerns about the Middle East were also reduced slightly by news reports saying that the Trump administration is pivoting to using the naval blockade to apply economic pressure on Iran rather than new military attacks. There is no sign of any progress between the US and Iran on an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, although some ships are still getting through by turning off their transponders and hoping for the best.

The dollar index (DXY00) is up by +0.22% today. The dollar is climbing today amid higher T-note yields, which are strengthening the dollar's interest rate differentials. Also, today's more than +2% increase in WTI crude oil prices is raising inflation expectations and may persuade the Fed to tighten monetary policy, a supportive factor for the dollar.
President Trump on Sunday signaled he's prepared to let economic pressure on Iran build rather than launch additional military strikes, saying the US was only "semi-negotiating" with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz and that the US blockade of Iran was deepening the country's financial woes.

The dollar index (DXY00) is down by -0.20% today. The dollar is falling today as stock strength has reduced demand for liquidity in the dollar. Also, today's weaker-than-expected reports on July ADP employment and July ISM services were bearish for the dollar. Losses in the dollar are limited on hawkish comments from Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid, who said tighter Fed policy was needed to reduce inflation.
The US July ADP employment change rose by +44,000, weaker than expectations of +65,000.

The dollar index (DXY00) is down by -0.06% today. The dollar is under pressure today as hopes for a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have boosted stocks and knocked crude oil prices sharply lower. The slide in crude oil prices lowers inflation expectations and could prompt the Fed to loosen monetary policy, a negative factor for the dollar. Today's weaker-than-expected US economic reports on June JOLTS job openings and June factory orders are also weighing on the dollar.
The US June trade deficit was -$73.3 billion, slightly larger than expectations of -$73.0 billion.

The dollar index (DXY00) dropped to a 6-week low today and is down by -0.91%. The dollar is moving lower today on today's US economic news that showed Q2 GDP growing less than expected and the Jun core PCE prices index easing as expected, dovish factors for Fed policy. The dollar is also under pressure on negative carryover from Wednesday when the FOMC kept interest rates unchanged. Losses in the dollar accelerated today after the ****** anese yen surged on signs of suspected intervention in the forex market by ****** anese authorities to prop up the yen.
US weekly initial unemployment claims rose +9,000 to 197,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of 200,000.

The dollar index (DXY00) is down by -0.02% today. The dollar recovered from overnight losses and is little changed after crude oil prices surged more than +6% when President Trump said the US will "hit Iran hard" after a recent attack from Iran that targeted a US base in Jordan. The jump in crude prices raises inflation expectations and could prompt the Fed to tighten monetary policy, a supportive factor for the dollar. Movement in the dollar is limited ahead of the conclusion of the 2-day FOMC meeting later today when policymakers are expected to keep interest rates unchanged.
Crude oil prices jumped today after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted a US airbase and command center in Jordan with ballistic missiles. The IRGC also claimed to have hit and halted three tankers attempting to transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the US and Saudi Arabia launched a joint attack on "Iran-aligned terrorists" in Iraq after the IRGC directed them to target US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.

The dollar index (DXY00) is up +0.37%. The dollar is finding support from strong US interest rate differentials, as the 10-year T-note yield rose by +5 bp and posted a new 1.5-year high amid today's surge in oil prices of more than +5%. The dollar is also seeing support from today's US unemployment claims report, which showed a slightly stronger US labor market than market expectations.
The dollar is also seeing safe-haven demand after the Iran-backed Houthis launched a missile and drone attack on two Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Red Sea, expanding the oil disruptions beyond the Strait of Hormuz and threatening oil shipments in the Red Sea. The Houthis have vowed to blockade shipping linked to Saudi Arabia and warned shipowners against calling at the nation's ports. The move threatens Saudi oil exports from Yanbu, a Red Sea hub that the Saudi's are using to ship crude since the war brought shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to a near halt. President Trump said Tuesday that if there is a blockade in the Red Sea, the US "will take care of it." Meanwhile, the US and Iran exchanged attacks for the 12th straight day, and the US maintained its blockade of Iranian oil shipments in the Persian Gulf.

The dollar index (DXY00) is down by -0.10% today. The dollar is under modest pressure today amid a recovery in the yen, which rose from a 39-year low on the prospect of faster interest rate hikes from the BOJ. Losses in the dollar are limited due to today's +3% rally in WTI crude oil to a 6-week high, which raises inflation expectations that could prompt the Fed to tighten monetary policy, a supportive factor for the dollar. Also, higher T-note yields today have strengthened the dollar's interest rate differentials and are supportive of the dollar.
The US and Iran played down the prospect of peace talks as disruptions to global oil supplies continue to mount. The US conducted an 11th straight day of attacks on Iran in an effort to degrade the country's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated by striking US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. President Trump said on Tuesday that the US has "no interest" in meeting with Iran until they are ready for serious peace negotiations.

The dollar index (DXY00) is up by +0.06% today. The dollar is slightly higher today as the escalation of hostilities between the US and Iran is boosting crude oil prices, which raises inflation expectations that could prompt the Fed to tighten monetary policy, a supportive factor for the dollar. Higher T-note yields today have also strengthened the dollar's interest rate differentials. Today's rally in stocks has curbed liquidity demand for the dollar, limiting gains in the currency.
The US and Iran exchanged strikes for a 10th consecutive day as mediators sought to revive a truce, with the US targeting military command centers, launch sites and air defenses in Iran and Iran attacking US military sites in Kuwait and Jordan. The UK navy also reported today that Iran struck two vessels around the Strait of Hormuz.
