USD exchange rate today May 19, 2025 on the world market

The Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the USD against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF), stopped at 100.98 - unchanged from May 18, 2025.

DXY index developments in recent times.

The USD Index (DXY), which measures the greenback's performance against six major currencies, rose 0.64% last week to 100.98.

The dollar rose 1.44% to 101.78 in early trading on Monday as the United States and China reached a temporary deal to cut tariffs on each other's goods and eased concerns that a trade war between the world's two largest economies could lead to a global recession.

Positive signals from a series of recently reached trade agreements, especially between the US and China and the US and the UK. The US's 90-day suspension of heavy tariffs on Chinese goods, along with Beijing's soft response, have helped calm market sentiment.

Meanwhile, the trade deal with the UK, though still symbolic, has improved the US’s international trade position. At the same time, the sharp increase in US government bond yields across all maturities has also become an important support, reinforcing the attractiveness of the USD in a high-interest-rate environment.

However, according to experts, the outlook for the USD exchange rate this week is still not entirely clear as macroeconomic and policy factors continue to fluctuate.

Inflation in the US remained above the Fed’s 2% target in April, raising concerns that the Fed will keep interest rates high for longer than expected. Against this backdrop, investors have begun to push back expectations for a rate cut to the third quarter, with September considered the most likely date.

However, the market still needs to closely monitor new signals from the US Federal Reserve. This week, speeches by many Fed officials will become the focus, as investors expect more specific suggestions about the policy direction in the coming time.

In addition, preliminary data on US manufacturing and services activities will also help shape market expectations on the health of the economy and the performance of the USD.
