    Dollar Falling to 1-Month Low as Expectations of Quick Fed Tightening Increase

    In Asia on Friday morning, the dollar was lower. The US dollar fell to a one-month low as investors reduced their expectations for US Federal Reserve interest rate hikes and signs that the central bank may slow or even halt its tightening cycle in the second half of 2022.

    By 4:28 a.m. GMT, the US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of other currencies, had fallen 0.34% to 101.32.

    The USD/JPY exchange rate fell 0.22% to 126.86.

    The AUD/USD pair increased by 0.63% to 0.7143, while the NZD/USD pair increased by 0.70 percent to 0.6522.

    The USD/CNY pair fell 0.08% to 6.7335, while the GBP/USD pair rose 0.48% to 1.2655.

    The AUD/USD pair increased by 0.63% to 0.7143, while the NZD/USD pair increased by 0.70 percent to 0.6522.

    The USD/CNY pair fell 0.08% to 6.7335, while the GBP/USD pair rose 0.48% to 1.2655.

    The dollar index fell as low as 101.43 for the first time since April 25, 2022. It was on track for a 1.5% drop for the week, following a 1.37% drop the previous week. This would be the first two-week drop since the new year. Investors fled the safe-haven dollar during Friday’s rally in Asia Pacific stocks.

    The dollar fell against the euro to its lowest level since April 25 at $1.0765. It has also dropped to its lowest level against the pound since April 26, 2022.

    The loss of the dollar was offset by gains in risk-sensitive Antipodean currencies. Meanwhile, the Australian and New Zealand dollars both are on the rise.

    In the middle of the month, the dollar reached a nearly two-decade high above the 105 mark, but it retreated amid signs that the Fed’s tightening of monetary policy may already be slowing economic growth. Treasury yields in the United States have also fallen from multi-year highs, further weakening the dollar.

    The dollar fell gradually against the yen over three weeks after reaching a two-decade high of 131.35.

    “U.S. inflation expectations have been falling, which has contributed to fading Fed tightening expectations, which has weighed on the dollar, particularly the dollar-yen, which is quite sensitive to yield differentials”

    “I assume the USD/JPY has peaked for the time being, but it will depend on inflation in the medium term.”

    Shinichiro Kadota, senior FX strategist at Barclays (LON:BARC)

    The minutes from the Fed’s most recent meeting, released earlier this week, revealed that the majority of participants thought 50 basis point hikes would be appropriate at the June and July policy meetings in 2022. Many policymakers, however, believed that large, early interest rate increases would allow for a pause later in 2022 to assess the effects of that policy tightening.

    Better risk sentiment did not help bitcoin, which fell 0.9 percent to around $28,908 and continued its week-long decline from $30,000.
