U.S. Dollar Mixed as Inflation Data Cools Expectations for Fed Rate Hike
The U.S. dollar showed mixed to flat movement following July's benign inflation data, with producer prices unchanged and consumer prices rising modestly. These inflation readings led traders to reduce expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate hike in September, with futures indicating a lower probability than in previous weeks. Market analysts suggest the Fed may maintain current rates amid inflation concerns and a softening labor market. The dollar index remained near 100, while major currencies showed varied responses.
