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 0.94% to 99.28.

The US dollar continued to fall as traders waited to see whether the administration of US President Donald Trump would reach new trade deals with partners.

The US is currently in discussions with countries including Japan, while tensions between China and the US are rising.

US President Donald Trump said he will personally attend a meeting of Japanese and US trade officials.

Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance said there was a good chance the US and UK would reach a major trade deal. However, any trade deal with China and the European Union is expected to take longer to reach.

On April 15, Mr. Trump ordered an investigation into potential new tariffs on all imports of critical US minerals to put pressure on industry leader China.

US economic growth appears to be slowing, with consumer spending rising modestly, and a rush of imports to avoid tariffs could weigh on estimates of gross domestic product and consumer sentiment, according to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

“The Fed is waiting to see what happens next before making any moves on interest rates,” said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth.

In a contrasting development, the EUR closed the trading session up 0.84%, reaching 1.1376 USD, anchored below the 3-year high of 1.1473 USD.

The dollar fell 0.71 percent against the Japanese yen to 142.22 after earlier hitting 142.03. The dollar also fell 1 percent against the Swiss franc to 0.815.

Meanwhile, the pound fell 0.07 percent to $1.3221, after hitting a six-month high of $1.3292 earlier.
