USD exchange rate today in the world
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US dollar against six other major currencies, edged up 0.09% to 101.72.
The US dollar traded mixed in a volatile session after data showed US inflation rose in August, raising expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points next week.
In the previous trading session, the US dollar fell as investors predicted that Vice President Kamala Harris could beat Donald Trump in the US presidential election, following the September 11 televised debate.
The US consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2% in August, the same as July. In the 12 months through August, the CPI increased 2.5%, the lowest annual increase since February 2021 and down from July's 2.9% increase.
Ben McMillan from IDX Insights said that the new data reduced the likelihood of the Fed cutting interest rates by 50 basis points next week, and the market has already priced in a 50 basis point rate cut in September.
Vassili Serebriakov from UBS predicts that, given current inflation figures and the likelihood of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Fed, the US dollar could rise in September but fall by the end of the year and into 2025.
A Goldman Sachs analyst said that the upcoming interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) is unlikely to weaken the USD. The reason is that many other central banks are also cutting interest rates, which helps reduce pressure on the USD.
Historically, when central banks cut interest rates together, the dollar has strengthened, said Isabella Rosenberg, a currency analyst. She used data going back to 1995 to analyze the relationship between interest rate policy and the strength of the dollar.
Rosenberg stressed that if central banks cut rates at the same time, the dollar would not be affected much by the Fed's rate cut. Although the market expects the Fed to change policy quickly, other central banks could cut rates more aggressively if the Fed gives them the room.
The Fed is expected to cut interest rates at its next meeting, after the European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of England (BoE) and others have begun easing their monetary policies.
