The world USD price decreased slightly when the USD-Index fell to 104.04 points, down 0.14 points compared to yesterday. According to Reuters, the greenback cooled down but was not too far from the peak of the past 2 months after some hardline Republican lawmakers said they would oppose the agreement to raise the US debt ceiling.

Meanwhile, U.S. inflation data that beat market expectations last week has boosted expectations for more rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Rate hike expectations have risen in recent days following a series of statements from Fed leaders.

In addition, the Chinese yuan fell 0.4% to 7.0907 against the USD - the weakest level since early December 2022 after the People's Bank of China cut interest rates. In addition, the diplomatic situation between the US and China is also in a tense state when Beijing rejected an invitation to meet between the two countries' defense ministers. This information is keeping the greenback hovering around high levels.
