The euro weakens and the dollar holds its position despite the Fed's comments

The euro could not keep up and went down. Investors expected the German economy to improve, but this did not happen, and only the prospect of easing monetary policy around the world limited the further decline. In recent weeks, currency markets have been particularly calm as investors have focused on economic data releases to decide when and to what extent central banks will stimulate their economies. Volatility in foreign exchange markets has fallen sharply in recent weeks, according to Deutsche Bank reports. It is expected that the Fed will reduce rates in July, but the dollar is not afraid, the dollar index against major currencies rose by 0.1% to 97,035 points, which is far enough from the June lows of 95,843 points. It remains to wait for the review of business sentiment in Germany and data on retail sales in the United States.

The yen lost 0.1%, dropping to 108.05 yen per dollar. Recall, the American reached a six-week high of 108,990 yen last week but fell after the head of the Fed Jerome Powell prepared the ground for a rate cut at the end of this month, highlighting the uncertainty faced by the world's largest economy. The New Zealand dollar rose 0.2% to 0.6729 dollars, helped by strong inflation data. The Swiss franc, which is always seen as a safe haven, benefited from concerns about the eurozone economy and rose slightly to 1.1077 francs per euro, close to a two-year high of 1.1057 francs in June.
