World market developments

The US Dollar Index (DXY) measures the greenback's movements against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) increased by 0.28%, currently at 98.13.

The dollar rose as US President Donald Trump led talks to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, while investors reduced expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would cut interest rates in September 2025.

Mr. Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on August 18, before negotiating with leaders of the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Finland, the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

The US President affirmed that Washington will support Europe in ensuring security for Ukraine to end the conflict, and expressed hope for a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Investors are also focusing on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's upcoming speech at the Fed's annual economic policy symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for fresh signals on the possibility of a rate cut next month.

Mr. Powell previously said he did not want to lower interest rates based solely on expectations that Mr. Trump's tariff policies would cause inflation to rise this summer.

According to analysts, Mr. Powell is unlikely to make any tough commitments on monetary policy before the August economic data.

Separately, data showed that US home builder confidence unexpectedly fell in August to its lowest level in more than two and a half years.

In the currency market, expectations that the Fed will ease monetary policy further have put pressure on the USD.

The dollar rose 0.4% against the yen to 147.82 JPY.

Meanwhile, the euro fell 0.3% to $1.1667. The pound also weakened 0.35% to $1.3504.
