Dollar’s Downturn: A Five-Month Low Amid Rate Cut Speculation


The U.S. dollar is poised for its most significant weekly decline in five months, driven by the Federal Reserve’s potential shift towards rate cuts, contrasting with the firmer stance of European central banks.

This divergence has fueled gains for the euro and the pound, while futures markets now reflect a 75% likelihood of a U.S. rate cut by March.
