The USD Index in the international market is currently at 99.58 points, continuing to reflect the slight weakening trend of the greenback amid many unstable factors in the global market.

On the world market on April 17, 2025, the USD continued its weakening trend, despite the Dollar Index (DXY) increasing slightly by 0.25 points compared to the previous day, reaching 99.58 points. This index measures the strength of the USD compared to 6 other major currencies including the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc.

The US dollar is under pressure due to concerns about the negative impact of the Trump administration’s new tax policies. Investors are increasingly shifting capital to foreign markets, especially when tariff decisions are made unexpectedly and without certainty. Meanwhile, traders are also closely monitoring the US government’s next moves in trade negotiations.

Several major currencies have made significant gains against the dollar. The euro rose 0.77% to $1.1368, though it is still below a three-year high reached late last week. The Japanese yen also rose 0.53%, taking the USD/JPY pair down to 142.47, its lowest level since September 30. Meanwhile, the Swiss franc rose as much as 1.03% to trade at 0.815 francs per dollar, close to a 10-year low. This is the strongest currency among the G10 since the US announced a series of new tariffs on April 2. This development is raising the possibility that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will return to negative interest rates to support the economy.

The pound was largely unaffected by the low inflation data, rising 0.27% to $1.3267. It had earlier hit a six-month high of $1.3292. The Australian and New Zealand dollars both pulled back slightly from recent highs but still held on to gains. The Australian dollar was up 0.43% at $0.6369, while the New Zealand dollar was up 0.15% at $0.5907.

The foreign exchange market is operating amid signs of reduced liquidity due to the upcoming Good Friday holiday. Although the US financial markets will be closed, foreign exchange trading will continue. Investors are also looking forward to a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell later today for further signals on the direction of monetary policy.
