Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index\n(DXY) fell 0.24% to 99 at the same time. This decline was a key factor\ndriving the strengthening of most Asian currencies. The US dollar\nweakened in early Asian trading as hopes grew for a deal to reopen the\nStrait of Hormuz. This optimism also pushed oil prices below $100 per\nbarrel. This eased some market concerns over global inflation risks.\nPreviously, oil price surges due to US-Iran tensions had driven the US\ndollar higher, as markets feared rising inflation would make it\ndifficult for the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to cut interest rates.\nHowever, pressure on the US dollar began to ease early this week.\nExpectations of the Strait of Hormuz reopening have lowered oil prices\nbelow $100 per barrel, alleviating inflation worries and reducing demand\nfor the US dollar. Yet, US-Iran peace prospects remain fragile. US\nPresident Donald Trump wrote on Saturday that a memorandum of\nunderstanding regarding a peace deal with Iran had been largely\nnegotiated. Both countries and mediators in Pakistan reported progress.\nHowever, Trump reiterated that the US blockade on Iranian vessels in the\nStrait of Hormuz remains fully in place until a deal is fully reached,\ncertified, and signed. As of now, the Iranian government has not\nresponded directly. For Asian currencies, the global weakening of the US\ndollar has provided significant room for appreciation, as evidenced by\nmost regional currencies moving into positive territory this\nmorning.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/us-dollar-slumps-globally-but-why-is-the-rupiah-still-weakening-1780314571", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
