US Dollar Weakens As Inflation Beats Forecasts
Wednesday, 11 June 2025 20:13 WIB | US DOLLAR |DOLLAR

The US Dollar Index fell to 98.7, near a three-year low of 98.0 last seen in April, after weaker-than-expected inflation data dampened market sentiment. US consumer prices rose 2.4% year-on-year in May, up from 2.3% in April but slightly below market consensus of 2.5%.

Energy prices have fallen 3.5% over the past year, while food prices rose 2.9%. Core inflation—which excludes food and energy—held steady at 2.8%, slightly below forecasts of 2.9%. Despite the weaker data, inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's 2.0% target, reinforcing expectations that policymakers are unlikely to rush to cut interest rates, even amid renewed pressure from President Trump.

Separately, President Trump announced that a trade deal with China had been finalized after talks in London this week, although it still awaits formal approval.(alg)
