In the international market, the Dollar Index (DXY) - a measure of the strength of the USD compared to 6 other major currencies - increased slightly to 103.11 points, up 0.22 points compared to April 7.

Three-month cross-currency basis swaps, which measure foreign demand for dollars, surged to their highest levels since late 2023 for the euro and pound, and to their strongest level in five months for the yen, Reuters reported.

The euro's swap rate fell to -5.375%, its lowest since November 2023. The sharp drop reflected strong demand for dollars from investors in the euro zone, compared to 12.5% ​​just a week ago.

In addition, US President Donald Trump's continued stance on imposing large-scale tariffs has further destabilized global financial markets.

Experts at ING said it is important to monitor the EUR/USD swap rate. If it widens sharply, indicating that the market is borrowing euros at low interest rates to exchange for dollars, it would be a warning signal. In this case, the dollar could temporarily appreciate before the US Federal Reserve has to intervene.
