At the close of the session on November 21, the USD Index (DXY) surged by 0.91 points compared to the previous week, reaching 100.11 points—its highest level in nearly five months.
A delayed report from the U.S. Department of Labor, due to a government shutdown, revealed that the economy added 119,000 jobs in September 2025, more than double the forecasted 50,000. This data reinforces the Federal Reserve’s view that the labor market, while slowing, remains stable. As a result, expectations for a rate cut in December 2025 have diminished, bolstering the strength of the U.S. dollar.
