The USD price in the world market today decreased slightly when the USD-Index fell to 103.03 points, 0.2 points lower than last weekend. The USD-Index recorded a significant increase last week.
Speaking to Forbes recently, Ms. Esther Reichelt, currency strategist at Commerzbank, said that the recent strength of the USD mainly comes from the increased demand for "safe haven" in the face of "unpredictable unknowns". How serious is the vulnerability in the US regional banks and the unpredictable consequences of the US debt ceiling battle. The situation is getting more urgent for both sides as it gets closer to June 1 - the deadline by which US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the country will no longer be able to pay its debts.
Some worrying signs about global economic growth may also be contributing to investors’ flight to safety. The latest figures this week showed that China’s economy underperformed in April, raising concerns not only about China’s economic outlook but also about global growth.
