Meanwhile, in the US market, the US Dollar Index (DXY) measuring the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) increased by 0.21% to 99.29.
USD exchange rate today in the world
The dollar was headed for its first weekly gain since mid-March after China granted some tariff exemptions on U.S. imports, raising hopes that the trade war between the world’s two largest economies may be easing.
The US currency has been hit hard this week by conflicting signs of a thaw in tense relations between Washington and Beijing.
Some businesses that were notified of the changes said on April 25 that China had granted some exemptions from the 125% tariff on US imports and was asking companies to identify goods that might qualify for the exemptions.
In an interview with Time Magazine published on April 25, the Trump administration revealed that it was negotiating with China to reach a tariff deal and that Chinese President Xi Jinping had called him.
The US dollar rose against major currencies in the last trading session and was set for a modest weekly gain, its first since mid-March.
However, even with some tax exemptions in place, there has been no clear evidence of changes in tariff policy, which has sent the greenback down 4% since US President Trump first announced the tariffs on April 2.
The greenback rose 0.67% on the day against the Japanese yen to 143.555 and gained 0.09% against the Swiss franc to 0.827 franc.
Meanwhile, the euro fell 0.11 percent to $1.1377, while the pound fell 0.1 percent to $1.3325, even after UK retail sales data unexpectedly rose strongly.
US President Donald Trump sent the dollar tumbling against other major currencies earlier in the week when he threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell over his delay in cutting interest rates. The greenback rebounded a day later when the US leader denied the notion.
Washington has made some progress in initial trade talks with Asian allies South Korea and Japan.
Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said after meeting US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that there were no currency negotiations.
Japan's chief negotiator Ryosei Akazawa, who is also the economy minister, said he would hold a second round of trade talks with his counterpart Bessent next week.
Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda reiterated the BOJ’s commitment to raising interest rates if core inflation moves toward its 2% target as expected on April 23. But he also stressed that policymakers need to carefully consider the consequences of US tariff policies.
The BOJ is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its two-day meeting ending on May 1.
