World market developments

The US Dollar Index (DXY) measures the greenback's movements against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) down 0.22%, currently at 98.21.

The US dollar fell against major currencies after US President Donald Trump fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, raising concerns about the bank's independence.

The EUR rose 0.22% against the USD to $1.1647; while the GBP gained 0.2% to $1.3481.

Compared to the Japanese Yen, the USD decreased by 0.27% to 147.36 Yen; at the same time, it lost 0.28% of its value compared to the Swiss Franc, to 0.8032.

The surprise announcement from Mr. Trump sent shockwaves through the market, but the overall reaction was quite reserved as investors were torn between concerns about the politicization of monetary policy and the possibility that the move would benefit the market.

“Investor activity remains subdued, with the focus on the fallout from the Jackson Hole conference and reports of growing threats to Fed Governor Cook and the Fed’s independence in general,” said Uto Shinohara, senior investment strategist at Mesirow Currency Management.

Markets were little changed after data showed US manufacturing output rose more than expected last month, while consumer confidence eased slightly in August.

According to CME's FedWatch tool, traders are now pricing in an 85% chance the Fed will cut interest rates at its September meeting.
