Dollar Index Falls Below 100 Amid Fed Easing and Yen Surge
The dollar index fell below the 100 mark, reaching its lowest level in about seven weeks at 99.55, influenced by easing Federal Reserve rate momentum and suspected coordinated intervention by Japan and the U.S. to support the yen, which surged to a three-month high of 155.20 per dollar. Lower crude oil prices amid renewed trade talks and President Trump's announcement of resumed Iran peace talks also contributed to subdued dollar strength. Investors are now focusing on the upcoming U.S. monthly jobs report.
