US Dollar softens with equities turning green
Tuesday, 8 April 2025 18:01 WIB | US DOLLAR |DOLLAR

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the performance of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, trades above 103.20 at the time of writing on Tuesday, slightly lower in the day while risk on is trying to take over market sentiment.

Over the past few days, the overall risk-off sentiment had rather devalued the Greenback substantially, though since the strong Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) released on Friday, the DXY has been climbing back. The question will be if the index can hold on to this recovery when more US data comes in.

On the economic calendar front, some light data is set to be published. The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) will release its Business Optimism Index for March. With the current tariffs narrative, markets will be sensitive to see how business sentiment is in the US, as this is often seen as a leading indicator.
