The dollar suffered its worst daily decline in nearly a month on Thursday as U.S. manufacturing data and comments from Federal Reserve officials reinforced expectations the central bank may skip an interest rate hike at its upcoming meeting.

Fed officials have indicated the need to pause interest rate hikes at their June 13-14 meeting, giving the central bank time to assess the impact of its tightening cycle so far amid persistently high inflation. Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Patrick Harker said on June 1 that the US central bank should not raise interest rates at its next meeting, despite high inflation that is falling at a slow pace.
Markets are pricing in about a 32% chance the Fed will raise rates by 25 basis points at its June meeting, compared with nearly 67% a day earlier, according to CME's FedWatch tool.
Meanwhile, U.S. private payrolls data released on June 1 showed that employment increased more than expected, with an increase of 278,000 jobs in April. This could lead to the Fed keeping interest rates on hold for a while. However, new orders continued to fall sharply amid higher interest rates.
In a contrasting development, the euro recovered from a two-month low after European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde stressed the need for further policy tightening.
Data released on June 1 showed that inflation in the 20 countries sharing the euro fell from 7.0% in April to 6.1% in May, below economists ' expectations of 6.3%, and more than three times higher than the ECB's 2% target.
Markets are currently pricing in an 85% chance of a 25 basis point ECB rate hike at its policy meeting on June 15.
