World market developments

The US Dollar Index (DXY) measuring the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) increased by 0.02% to 99.40.

The US dollar rose and the euro weakened after the European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates for the seventh time in a year.

The greenback has largely steadied this week and traded in a narrow range against the common European currency, following sharp declines last week on concerns about the economic impact of tariffs and investors moving funds abroad.

“Our medium-term outlook remains quite bearish on the dollar, so we see this as a minor rebound,” said Eric Theoret, foreign exchange strategist at Scotiabank.

Traders are closely watching discussions between the administration of US President Donald Trump and trading partners.

On April 17, President Donald Trump said he hopes to reach a trade deal with China.

Mr. Trump also hailed great progress in tariff talks with Japan on April 16.

The ECB has cut interest rates to their lowest level since late 2022, in a bid to support the struggling eurozone economy, which is being hit hard by US tariffs.

Meanwhile, US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the Fed would wait for more data on the direction of the economy before changing interest rates, but warned that President Donald Trump's tariff policies risked pushing inflation and employment further away from the central bank's targets.

The euro fell 0.41% on the day to $1.1351 and is hovering below a three-year high of $1.1473 hit late last week.

Against the Japanese yen, the dollar rose 0.51% to 142.54. It had earlier hit 141.60, its lowest since September 18.
