Foreign exchange rates today June 30: USD Index stands at 97.25

The DXY index, which measures the strength of the US dollar against six major currencies, fell nearly 2% last week and closed above 98. The decline was largely due to President Trump’s tough trade policies and statements, including his push for higher tariffs on goods from the European Union and his strong criticism of the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.

President Trump’s policies are raising concerns about the negative impact on global trade and world economic growth. These concerns have prompted investors to sell off the USD, putting a lot of pressure on the currency. In the coming week, if the trade war fears continue to increase, the DXY index is likely to maintain its downtrend, with the next targets below 97 and even 96 – a strong long-term support level.

Global investors are becoming more cautious as political intervention could erode the Fed’s independence in setting interest rates. Increased risk aversion has sent capital into safe havens such as gold and the Swiss franc, further weakening the dollar.

The US 10-year Treasury yield is another important factor affecting the USD. Last week, it rose sharply to 4.63% in the first half of the week, but then fell back, erasing almost all of its previous gains. Currently, the yield is hovering around the 4.40 - 4.35% support zone. If the yield stays above this zone, it could provide some support for the USD, helping to limit the decline in the DXY index.

The euro (EUR) is showing positive signs, reinforcing the downward pressure on the USD. The EUR/USD pair has rebounded strongly from the low of 1.1065, maintaining the overall bullish trend. Current support levels for the EUR/USD are 1.1250, 1.1170 and 1.1090, while the next target is the 1.14 area. If the upward momentum is maintained, the EUR/USD pair may reach the 1.15 - 1.16 area in the coming weeks. The euro's strength is not only due to the internal factors of the eurozone but also due to the weakness of the USD. This suggests that the EUR/USD pair may continue to rise next week.
