Today's USD exchange rate on the world market (December 21, 2024)
The Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the USD against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF), closed at 107.83, down 0.57 points from December 20, 2024.

The US dollar fell from a two-year high on Friday, but is on track for a third consecutive weekly gain, with data showing inflation slowed two days after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates and suggesting inflation is stubborn enough to scale back cuts by 2025.
The US dollar fell 0.72% against a basket of six other currencies to 107.83 after surging to 108.54 – its highest level since November 2022. The dollar was predicted to end the week up 0.72%.
Data from the Commerce Department showed that the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index – the Fed's preferred measure of inflation – rose 0.1% in November after an unadjusted 0.2% increase in October. But for the 12 months to November, the PCE price index rose 2.4%, compared with a 2.3% increase for the year to October.
The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday, with officials saying there will be fewer cuts in 2025 because inflation remains above target despite a recent downward trend.
The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds fell 6.2 basis points to 4.51% after reaching a six-and-a-half-month high following the Fed's interest rate decision.
“Today’s inflation figures are more dovish than feared; the Fed refocused on inflation at this week’s meeting and then the numbers weren’t so worrying. I think the market heeded the Fed’s words and became concerned about inflation. But then the numbers showed that inflation is still slowing and certainly not at a worrying level,” said Adam Button, currency analyst at ForexLive.
The U.S. government will begin a partial shutdown if Congress does not extend the deadline to pass a spending bill supported by President-elect Donald Trump before midnight Friday. The bill failed to pass the House of Representatives on Thursday.
The US dollar fell 0.79% to 0.892 Swiss francs, heading for a weekly loss.
The euro edged higher after falling to a one-month low of $1.03435 during trading, heading for a third consecutive weekly decline, partly affected by comments from Trump that the European Union must buy more U.S. oil and gas to offset its “huge deficit” with the world’s largest economy, or face tariffs. The currency had recently gained 0.76% to $1.044175.
The US dollar fell to its lowest level in five months at 157.93 Japanese yen after the Bank of Japan kept interest rates unchanged. The dollar declined 0.89% to 156.01 yen.
The British pound fell to a one-month low of $1.2475 but recently rose 0.77% to $1.25990, still on a downward trend for the third consecutive week. The Bank of England kept interest rates unchanged on Thursday.
The US dollar fell 0.18% to 7.295 Chinese yuan in offshore markets. The Australian dollar declined 0.43% to $0.6263, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.53% to $0.566.
Joseph Trevisani, senior analyst at FXStreet.com, said: “Essentially, there was a move on interest rates between Wednesday’s Fed meeting and not necessarily what they did, but the main catalyst was a shift in economic forecasts for the Fed funds rate next year. The market is seeing the Fed pulling back. I’ve long thought they would pause in January. I’m pretty sure they will.”
