World USD exchange rate on May 11, 2025

The US dollar index (DXY) has turned lower after hitting a near one-month high of 100.86, now backing down to around 100.34.

The decline reflected investor disappointment over the lackluster content of the US-UK trade deal, as well as heightened caution ahead of a key round of US-China talks in Switzerland this weekend.

Despite the announcement of the deal with the UK, US tariffs on UK goods remain at 10%, leading many analysts to label the deal as "lacking substance".

Market focus is now shifting to the US-China meeting, which is expected to partly determine the global trade situation in the coming time.

Although President Donald Trump hinted that tariffs could be reduced by 50% if cooperation improved, skepticism remains as there have been no concrete signs of progress from either side.

Meanwhile, tensions are not limited to trade. The US recently imposed sanctions on private Chinese refiners for buying oil from Iran, complicating bilateral relations and potentially affecting the weekend talks. While China still imports about 1.5 million barrels of Iranian oil a day, that number is likely to decline as US sanctions tighten.

Data showed Chinese refiners imported an average of 11.7 million barrels of oil per day in April, largely to stockpile supplies as global crude prices were low.

However, this high level of imports is unlikely to be sustained in the long term as trade tensions and political pressure increase, analysts at Commerzbank warned.

On the monetary policy front, New York Fed President John Williams stressed that keeping long-term inflation expectations stable is important for the economy .

Fed Governor Adriana Kugler also said that current interest rates remain restrictive, suggesting no near-term adjustment is likely. However, Fed policymakers also warned of downside risks from higher taxes and global uncertainty.

Currently, investors are waiting for more signals from the Fed and upcoming inflation indicators to assess whether interest rate policy can be loosened in the near future.

Meanwhile, DXY continues to face selling pressure as risks related to trade wars and international sanctions show no signs of abating.

The market will pay special attention to the results of the US-China negotiations over the weekend to determine the next trend of the greenback and global financial markets.
