USD exchange rate today in the world

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 0.43%, currently at 108.68.

After only one session of decline, this morning the world gold price turned to increase thanks to the weakening of the USD. Domestic gold prices reversed and increased slightly, with the price of gold bars and gold rings adjusted up from 100,000 to 300,000 VND/tael in both directions. The difference between the world gold price and domestic gold price is about 1.7 million VND/tael.

The US dollar rebounded in the last trading session, as US economic data showed a generally stable job market and a strong service sector, creating conditions for the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to possibly slow down the current interest rate cutting cycle.

The greenback also rose to a near six-month high against the Japanese yen after the U.S. data. The currency rose 0.2% to 157.875 yen. Earlier, the dollar hit its highest since July at 158.425 yen.

New data showed that U.S. job growth unexpectedly increased in November, while employment, a measure of labor demand, increased by 259,000 to 8.098 million jobs on the last day of November, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Employment and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report. However, the number of jobs fell by 125,000 to 5.269 million in November.

Activity in the US services sector also accelerated in December, while input prices jumped to their highest level in nearly two years, suggesting rising inflation. The Institute for Supply Management’s non-manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) rose to 54.1 last month, from 52.1 in November.

The US interest rate futures market has priced in a 95% chance that the Fed will pause its rate cuts this month, according to LSEG estimates. The futures also imply just 37 basis points of cuts by 2025, compared with two cuts expected in the Fed’s “dot plot,” or rate forecast.

Investors are now assessing US President-elect Donald Trump's actual policies on tariffs.

In the afternoon trading session, the DXY index rose to 108.70, after falling to 107.74, the lowest level since December 30.

On January 2, the index hit 109.58, its highest level in more than two years, on market expectations of fiscal stimulus and tariff hikes that Mr. Trump promised to implement to boost US growth.

In a contrasting development, the EUR fell 0.4% to $1.0352, extending losses after the economic data.

Investors are now looking ahead to the US non-farm payrolls report due on January 10. A Reuters poll showed a forecast of about 160,000 jobs created in December, down from 227,000 new jobs created in November.

“The health of the US labor market is paramount to expectations for Fed action this year, so it is likely that, barring any major news from the new administration, we could see a quieter FX market until January 10,” said Helen Given, FX trader at Monex USA in Washington.
