Exchange rate developments in the world market
In the US market, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the greenback's movements against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF), rose slightly by 0.11% to 101.96. On the contrary, the British Pound, Euro and Japanese Yen all fell.
The greenback exchange rate in the world today increased. Other major currencies decreased.
The US dollar rose against other currencies in the last trading session, after newly released economic data showed positive US manufacturing and construction conditions in June.
Federal Reserve data in June showed factory activity rebounded in the second quarter, ending two straight quarters of declines. Meanwhile, the Commerce Department said U.S. construction spending also rose sharply last month, and May data was revised higher.
Additionally, monthly job openings and labor turnover surveys continue to show tight labor market conditions despite the Fed's aggressive rate hikes.
The dollar initially slipped on the reports, but has since rebounded.
Elsewhere, the Japanese Yen has been volatile since late last week, after the Bank of Japan began “slowly” adjusting its yield curve control policy, further pressuring the currency. The Yen weakened 0.75% to 143.30 per dollar.
Ed Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA in New York, USA, said that Japan's yield curve control policy adjustment will be the focus of the market for the rest of the year.
Meanwhile, the euro also fell 0.12 percent to $1.098, as markets are now pricing in a pause in interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank, as inflation in the eurozone continued to fall in July.
The British pound closed at $1.2774, down 0.49% on the day. Currency markets are now pricing in a 60% chance that the Bank of England will raise interest rates by 25 basis points at its policy meeting on August 4.
