Dollar continues to weaken

2:37 PM 5 December 2022

The dollar index fell to 104.15 mark, lowest level since end of June and as prospects of a less aggressive tightening from the Fed put pressure on greenback. Money markets digested the latest NFP report and are pricing an 80% chance of 50 bp in December after delivering four successive 75 bp rate increases. USD weakened not only against major currencies like EUR and GBP pound but also against the Chinese yuan as bets of a swifter reopening of China's economy lent optimism to yuan bulls.
