DNVN - On November 4, 2024, the US dollar saw a slight increase, reflecting investor caution ahead of the Fed's policy meeting and the results of the upcoming US presidential election.

USD exchange rate in the global market
The Dollar Index (DXY), a measure of the value of the USD against six other major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF), reached 104.28, up 0.05 points from the trading session on November 3, 2024.
The USD remained stable while the Japanese Yen fell sharply, with the exchange rate dropping to 153.88 JPY/USD. This followed the results of the Japanese election, which showed the ruling coalition no longer holding a majority, raising concerns about the possibility of intervention by the Japanese Ministry of Finance if the USD/JPY exchange rate exceeded 160.
The recovery of the US economy has provided support for the USD. Since the beginning of October, the DXY index has risen 3.6%, recording its largest increase since April 2022, thanks to strong consumer confidence and the possibility that former President Donald Trump could win the election. This has also pushed US Treasury yields higher.
On October 31, 2024, the US dollar weakened slightly after news that third-quarter GDP growth was only 2.8%, lower than expected. This caused the DXY to fall from 104.43 to 104.06. This information also increased the likelihood that the Fed might cut interest rates by 25 basis points due to inflationary pressures.
By November 2, 2024, the USD recovered after the October non-farm payrolls report showed only a 12,000-job increase, while the unemployment rate remained at 4.1%. This data reinforced the likelihood that the Fed would adjust interest rates at its policy meeting on November 7.
This weekend, international financial markets will focus on the US presidential election and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. These events are expected to create significant volatility for the USD exchange rate and other major currencies. Investors will be closely monitoring the situation to adjust their investment strategies accordingly.
