On the international market, the USD-Index fell by 1.15 points compared to the previous week, to 102.74 points.
The price of USD on the international market continues to decline sharply as Chairman Jerome Powell said in his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee that the Fed is waiting to be more confident that inflation is holding at 2%. When that confidence is achieved, it will be an appropriate time to start cutting back to avoid pushing the economy into a recession.
Powell had previously stated that rate cuts are still possible in the coming months, but only if there is additional evidence of reduced inflation.
