Exchange rate developments in the world market
The US Dollar Index (DXY) measuring the greenback's movements against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) decreased by 0.02% to 106.72.
The dollar hovered near a two-month low after investors reduced bets on US tariffs, while the yen rose in the last trading session, helped by upbeat Japanese growth data.
The dollar closed down 0.58 percent against the yen at 151.44 after data showed Japan's economy grew more than expected in the fourth quarter thanks to improved business spending and a surprise rise in consumer spending.
That strengthens the case for the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to raise interest rates further this year. Markets are currently pricing in another increase of around 37 basis points in December.
“The bottom line is that household consumption is growing significantly faster, which could prompt the BoJ to take measures to fight inflation,” said Krishna Bhimavarapu, APAC economist at State Street Global Advisors.
The data also eased concerns about sluggish consumption and is a positive signal for the BoJ to introduce another rate hike, which could come sooner than expected."
In the market, the US dollar is struggling to recover from a sell-off caused by weak US retail data late last week, as investors welcomed US President Donald Trump's delay in implementing tariffs on all countries that impose import duties on US goods.
The DXY index was steady in the last trading session, after falling 1.2% last week. The index fell to 106.56 late last week, its lowest level since mid-December.
Geopolitics remains in focus with reports that talks aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict will begin in Saudi Arabia this week.
The euro fell 0.1% to $1.0482, after trading at a two-week high late last week, around $1.051.
Meanwhile, the British pound was up 0.1% at $1.2596, after hitting a two-month high of $1.263 late last week.
