In the international market, the US Dollar Index fell by 0.8 points to 104.08 – the lowest level in over a month.
On July 11, the US economic data for June showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a key indicator of inflation, fell by 0.1% from the previous month. This was the first decline since May 2020. Year-over-year, the US CPI rose 3%, the lowest in over three years.
The data reinforced the trend of easing inflation, prompting expectations that the Federal Reserve will soon cut interest rates, reducing the demand for holding USD.
