World market developments

The US Dollar Index (DXY) measuring the greenback's movements against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) decreased by 0.47%, currently at 98.05.

The dollar fell across the board after data showed U.S. consumer prices rose only slightly in July, bolstering expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month.

According to the US Department of Labor, the consumer price index (CPI) in July 2025 increased 0.2% after increasing 0.3% in June 2025.

“Core inflation remains low, giving policymakers the flexibility to respond to early signs of weakness in the labor market,” said Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Corpay.

Chairman Powell should raise the possibility of a rate cut in September 2025 when he speaks at the Jackson Hole conference on the 21st.

Earlier, currency markets were largely flat on expectations that moderate inflation data could reinforce expectations the Fed will cut interest rates next month, especially after last week's weak jobs report.

The dollar fell 0.25 percent to 147.77 against the Japanese yen and 0.71 percent to 0.807 against the Swiss franc. The euro rose 0.53 percent to $1.1675.

With the impact of tariffs on global growth still unclear, predicting the US dollar's performance between now and the end of the year will be difficult, Mr. Schamotta said.

“The outlook for early fall remains extremely volatile, and if further evidence of a global economic slowdown emerges, the dollar could quickly regain strength,” he said.

Meanwhile, the British pound rose 0.5% against the USD to 1.3495 USD.
