US Dollar Index edges lower below 97.00 on downbeat US job data, Fed rate cut bets
Thursday, 3 July 2025 08:41 WIB | US DOLLAR |Dolar AS

The US Dollar Index (DXY), an index of the value of the US Dollar (USD) measured against a basket of six world currencies, remains on the defensive near 96.70 during the early Asian session on Thursday. All eyes will be on the release of highly-anticipated US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for June, which is due later on Thursday.

The Greenback edges lower after the ADP National Employment Report showed US private payrolls fell for the first time in more than two years in June. US private-sector payrolls decreased 33,000 in June after a downwardly revised 29,000 gain in May. This figure came in below the market consensus of 95,000.

This downbeat report has supported market expectations of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut, weighing on the USD. Also, the dovish comments from the Fed officials contribute to the USD's downside. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Tuesday that he would not rule out a potential interest rate cut at this month's meeting, adding that everything depends on incoming data.
