According to Reuters, the US dollar fell against major currencies on Thursday as investors stepped back and absorbed President Donald Trump's latest tariff plan, while the yen rose to an 11-week high on expectations that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) would continue to raise interest rates.
US data showing initial jobless claims in line with expectations, and a report indicating slowing factory output growth in the Mid-Atlantic region in February had minimal impact on currency markets. These reports did not alter expectations that the Federal Reserve will remain unchanged for several months.
However, tariffs remain a major concern for currency investors, even though their impact has now weakened.
On Wednesday, Trump said he would announce new tariffs next month or sooner, adding lumber and forestry products to previously announced plans to impose tariffs on imported automobiles, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals.
"The foreign exchange market is showing signs of fatigue when it comes to tariff headlines. While Trump's rhetoric on tariffs will be the main driver of the market, investors are becoming more selective in their reactions to them because of his history of shifting positions," said Boris Kovacevic, global market strategist at Convera in Vienna.
Boris Kovacevic also stated: "Trump has postponed some tariffs, which explains why stocks in the US and Europe have reached record highs and why the US dollar has fallen 3% from its peak in January."
The US dollar fell after data showed initial jobless claims rose by 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 219,000 in the week ending February 15. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 215,000 claims for the previous week.
A separate report also put slight pressure on the dollar, stating that the Philadelphia Federal Reserve's monthly manufacturing index fell 26.2 points – the largest drop in nearly five years – to 18.1 points in February from 44.3 points in January.
Meanwhile, the yen rose to an 11-week high against the dollar at 149.63 yen per dollar. The US currency had recently fallen 1.2% to 149.68 yen, mainly due to concerns over Trump's tariffs as well as growing expectations of further interest rate hikes by the BOJ this year.
The euro also fell against the yen, dropping 0.8% to 156.68, while the yen rose 0.74%, on track for its biggest daily decline in two weeks.
BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Thursday that he has met with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba for regular exchanges of views on the economy and financial markets.
Moh Siong Sim, a currency strategist at Bank of Singapore, said he didn't think there was just one reason for the yen's appreciation, but news that Ueda and Ishiba weren't discussing raising long-term interest rates could reassure the market.
The market is also watching geopolitical developments after Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy "a dictator" on Wednesday, deepening the rift between the two leaders and raising concerns among European officials.
Trump's comments that it is "possibly" possible that the U.S. and China will reach a new trade deal are also being assessed by market participants. Trump also said on Wednesday that he expects Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit the U.S., but did not say when.
Pfister said: "We are seeing an impact from the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar, which are heavily influenced by Chinese trade."
The Australian dollar recently rose 0.8% to $0.6392, also reacting to mixed jobs reports showing employment exceeding forecasts in January for the second consecutive month, but the unemployment rate remained high.
The New Zealand dollar also strengthened significantly, rising 0.9% to $0.5754.
The British pound also rose 0.4% to $1.2638.
