Exchange rate developments in the world market

The Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the USD against six major currencies (Euro, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF), stopped at 100.55, down 0.30%.

The British pound has risen to its highest level against the dollar in more than two years.

The greenback fell to its lowest level in more than a year as investors await key economic data this week and next.

Currency market moves remain driven by the prospect of upcoming US interest rate cuts, which has weighed on the USD in recent weeks.

Investors see a rate cut at the US Federal Reserve's September meeting as a near certainty, with debate now focusing on the possibility of a 50 basis point cut rather than 25 basis points.

Interest rate futures markets are pricing in a 37% chance of a 50 basis point rate hike, unchanged from last week, and a total of about 106 basis points of cuts in 2024.

The pound was among the beneficiaries of the dollar's weakness, hitting its highest level since March 2022 at $1.3246. The currency was up 0.3% at $1.3226.

The euro rose 0.2% against the dollar to $1.1181, just off a 13-month high hit earlier this week.

“After a strong rally since early August, it looks like EUR/USD could be set for consolidation,” said Chris Turner, global head of markets at ING.
