USD exchange rate today May 13: Domestic decrease, world increase record

World USD exchange rate on May 13, 2025

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the value of the greenback against a basket of currencies, surged earlier this week and hit a more than one-month high of 101.65.

The bounce came shortly after the much-anticipated joint statement from the US and China on the outcome of the first round of trade talks held in Geneva last weekend.

Under the new agreement, the US will temporarily reduce tariffs on Chinese goods to a base rate of 10% for 90 days. China also pledged to stop imposing tariffs on US goods, signaling an end to the long-standing trade tensions between the world's two largest economies .

This positive development has eased fears of a recession in the US, and combined with the Federal Reserve's policy of temporarily suspending interest rate hikes, it has created a strong boost for the USD.

Last week, the Fed said it had no intention of cutting interest rates in the near future, citing concerns that short-term inflationary pressures could be exacerbated by tariff policies.

The announcement further pushed up US government bond yields, with the 10-year bond hitting its highest level since April 14. This further increased the appeal of the US dollar, which is considered a safe asset, despite the growth trend of risky assets globally.

Now, after the market digests the positive news from the trade talks, the focus shifts to upcoming inflation data. This week, the US will release the consumer price index (CPI) on Wednesday and the producer price index (PPI) on Thursday.

In addition, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech will also be closely watched for further signs on the direction of interest rate policy in the coming time. These factors are expected to directly affect the price movement of the USD and the next direction of the DXY index.
