DowJones chart on USD fluctuation
The WSJ Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of other currencies, fell 4.2% this month through Tuesday. That would mark its largest monthly percentage decline since September 2010, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It ticked higher as of Wednesday morning.
- The British pound has risen about 4.7% against the dollar this month to around $1.20.
- The euro has gained about 5%, putting it soundly above parity with the greenback. It recently traded at about $1.03.
- The Japanese yen has rallied 7% this month, with $1 now buying roughly 139 yen.
The greenback has soared this year as the Federal Reserve embarked on its most aggressive policy tightening-campaign in decades. Higher interest rates typically make a currency more attractive to investors.
The WSJ Dollar Index remains up more than 10% for the year but has pared gains in recent weeks as investors bet that the Federal Reserve will slow the pace of rate-increases in the months ahead. Data suggesting U.S. inflation is slowing also weighed on the U.S. currency and allowed the beaten-down currencies of other countries to claw back some losses for the year.
