Exchange rate developments in the world market
In the US market, the US Dollar Index (DXY) measuring the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) decreased by 0.81% to 102.13.
Specifically, the greenback exchange rate fell dramatically, while the Euro increased.
The greenback fell sharply after the European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates, a day after the US Federal Reserve (Fed) paused interest rate hikes.
On June 13, the Fed held its June policy meeting, deciding to keep its benchmark interest rate at 5.00% - 5.25%, while signaling that it would need to raise interest rates further this year.
In addition, a separate report from the US Department of Labor on June 15 showed that initial claims for unemployment benefits were unchanged at 262,000, but exceeded economists' forecasts of 249,000 claims for unemployment benefits last week.
Elsewhere, the euro rose 1.1 percent in the previous session to $1.0948 after hitting a five-week high against the dollar of $1.0952. Against the Japanese yen, the euro rose 1.2 percent to 153.68 yen, its highest since September 2008, following the ECB's decision.
The euro hit a 15-year high against the yen and a five-week high against the dollar on Tuesday after the ECB raised interest rates for the eighth time in a row and signaled the need for further tightening to bring eurozone inflation back to its 2% target. The ECB raised interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) as expected, taking them to 3.5%, a 22-year high.
Deutsche Bank said there were elements of resolve in the ECB's latest press conference, particularly the upward revision of its 2025 inflation forecast.
The ECB's move comes a day after the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged. The Fed's policy decision snapped a 10-year streak of rate hikes, but forecasts point to two more hikes by the end of 2023.
Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan will hold a policy meeting today, June 16, and is expected to maintain an extremely dovish stance.
