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) increased by 0.43% to 107.00.

The US dollar rose against major currencies in the last trading session, boosted by increased demand for safe-haven assets amid concerns over tariffs and tense negotiations surrounding the Russia-Ukraine issue.

The greenback will remain a safe haven amid geopolitical uncertainty, said Juan Perez, head of trading at Monex USA in Washington.

Meanwhile, the EUR fell 0.4% to $1.0447. US President Donald Trump also hinted at imposing new tariffs on the European Union (EU), a move that economists say could trigger a global economic recession.

Compared to the Japanese Yen, the USD increased by 0.3% to 151.95.

The yen has slipped after recent gains, boosted by strong growth data that bolstered the case for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates again this year.

Solid Japanese GDP data, along with recent inflation figures, have helped lift the yen, which has gained 3.5% against the dollar so far in 2025.
