Exchange rate developments in the world market

The US Dollar Index (DXY) measures the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) increased 0.12% to 107.70.

The US dollar edged up against other currencies but remained near its lowest level since early last week.

Meanwhile, the Japanese Yen hit an eight-week high against the USD in the last trading session.

Specifically, the Japanese Yen increased to 151.81 Yen/USD - the highest level since December 12 after Bank of Japan (BoJ) board member Naoki Tamura said the central bank may have to raise interest rates by at least 1% until the second half of 2025 as price risks increase.

The Japanese currency closed the trading session at 151.335 Yen/USD, up 0.82% from the previous trading session.

Markets are currently pricing in a 25 basis point BoJ rate hike in September.

“Mr. Tamura is known to have a hawkish view on monetary policy, and his initial comments prompted the market to buy the Japanese Yen,” said Shoki Omori, a strategist at Mizuho Securities.

In addition, the British pound fell 0.54% to $1.2438. The euro fell slightly by 0.19% to $1.0382.
