USD exchange rate today 11/1/2024: Dropped to 103

USD price today 1/11 in the world plummeted

In the US market, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the USD against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF), fell 0.10% to 103.89.

The US dollar fell against the Japanese yen in the last trading session, after the Bank of Japan made less dovish comments, along with data showing that inflationary pressures in the US have eased, creating conditions for the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to cut interest rates by 25 basis points next week.

Data released on October 31 showed US consumer spending rose slightly more than expected in September, suggesting the economy is likely to grow better in the final quarter of 2024.

Inflation, as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures index that the Fed tracks, fell to 2.1% in September, down from 2.3% in August, while the Fed's inflation target is 2%.

The Fed is likely to cut interest rates by 25 basis points next week, and traders are betting on a 94.7% chance of that, according to Thierry Wizman, a strategist at Macquarie in New York.

The US dollar was also under pressure from the Japanese yen, as the Bank of Japan took a more hawkish stance than expected.

In contrast, the EUR edged up 0.04% against the USD to $1.0859, helped by higher-than-expected inflation data in the eurozone.

The dollar fell 0.8 percent against the yen to 152.18 yen. Michael Brown, strategist at Pepperstone, said traders may be taking profits after the dollar's recent strong performance.

The DXY index has risen as much as 4.5% from its September low. The market is now awaiting the non-farm payrolls report to be released on November 1 and the US presidential election next week (November 5).

Forecasts from a Reuters poll showed about 113,000 jobs were created in October, but that figure could be affected by recent hurricanes.

The pound also fell 0.8 percent to $1.2857, a day after British Finance Minister Rachel Reeves announced the biggest tax increase since 1993 in her first budget.
