Foreign exchange rates today April 16: USD recovers slightly

World currency exchange rates

In the US market, the US Dollar Index (DXY) measuring the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) increased by 0.46% to 100.10.

The US dollar rose against the euro and the Japanese yen in the last trading session, showing signs of a cautious recovery after a sharp sell-off that sent the DXY index down more than 3% last week. However, investors remained cautious amid concerns about the impact of trade tariffs from the Trump administration on the US economy .

The rapid changes in tariff announcements sent investors fleeing to safe-haven assets, sending Treasury yields surging last week and denting the greenback’s appeal.

On the other hand, the euro fell 0.70% on the day to $1.127, after hitting a three-year high of $1.1473 last week. The shift from US assets to European assets could pave the way for a rally in the euro.

New data shows that German investor sentiment fell the most in April since the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out in 2022, due to uncertainty over US tariff policy.

The dollar rose 0.12 percent against the Japanese yen to 143.16 yen, not far from a six-month low of 142.05 hit late last week.

Japan will seek to completely eliminate additional tariffs imposed by Mr. Trump, the country’s top negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, said on April 15, ahead of a three-day visit to Washington.

The dollar rose 0.91% to 0.822 Swiss francs after falling to a 10-year low against the Swiss currency last week.

The pound rose 0.15 percent to $1.3209 after hitting $1.3252, its highest since Oct. 3.

The AUD rose 0.32% against the greenback to $0.6345 and the NZD gained 0.39% to $0.5899.
