Today's USD exchange rate on the world market (February 18, 2025)

The yen strengthened on Monday thanks to optimistic growth data from Japan, while the dollar fluctuated near its lowest level in two months after investors eased expectations of US tariffs.

The US dollar recently fell 0.58% against the yen to 151.44 after data showed the Japanese economy grew faster than expected in the fourth quarter thanks to improved business spending and an unexpected increase in consumer spending.

This strengthens the argument for the Bank of Japan raising interest rates further this year. The market is currently pricing in around 37 basis points more through December.

Krishna Bhimavarapu, APAC economist at State Street Global Advisors, said: "The key takeaway for us is that nominal household consumption is growing significantly faster than real consumption, and the difference remains large, which could trigger the BOJ's anti-inflationary measures. At the very least, this data dispels concerns about stagnation in consumption and is a positive signal for the BOJ to implement another interest rate hike, possibly sooner than expected."

In the broader market, the US dollar is struggling to recover from the sell-off triggered by weak US retail sales data released on Friday and as investors welcomed President Donald Trump's delay in implementing retaliatory tariffs .

The US stock and bond markets were closed as traders took a holiday for Presidents' Day, although the US dollar continued to trade internationally.

The most recent US dollar index stood at 106.76, unchanged on the day, after falling 1.2% last week. The index had dropped to 106.56 on Friday, its lowest level since mid-December.

Rodrigo Catril, senior foreign exchange strategist at National Australia Bank, said: "The weakening dollar... is a result of both the ongoing optimism that perhaps the tariffs won't be as disruptive as initially thought – of course, it remains to be seen, the Ukraine saga is still simmering there. And of course, the data also suggests that perhaps the US specialness is gradually losing its appeal, thus putting pressure on the dollar."

The Australian dollar rose to a two-month high against a weaker US dollar, settling at $0.6366 ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) interest rate decision on Tuesday.

The RBA is expected to cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points, marking its first cut in over four years as the bank joins a monetary easing cycle alongside other major central banks.

The kiwi also hit a two-month high before paring some gains to trade at $0.5736, ahead of Wednesday's Reserve Bank of New Zealand policy decision, where the market had priced in a 50 basis point cut.
