The US dollar is dipping

Aug 21, 2024, 20:03 IST
Investing.comThe US dollar is lower on Monday.

The index is down by 0.4% at 100.20 as of 8:33 a.m. ET.

Friday saw some soft data coming out stateside. Core CPI fell by 0.1% in March, marking the first drop since January 2010.

Moreover, retail sales eased for a second straight month in March, falling 0.2% year-over-year, according to the Commerce Department.

The disappointing data has pushed back Fed rate hike expectations. World Interest Rate Probability data provided by Bloomberg shows a 47% chance the Fed hikes in June, down from 66.5% one week ago.
