Exchange rate developments in the world market
Meanwhile, in the US market, the US Dollar Index (DXY) measuring the greenback's fluctuations against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) increased by 0.18% to 103.77.
The dollar surged to a fresh 11-week high as data showed U.S. retail sales rose in September, bolstering expectations that the Federal Reserve will stick to a dovish stance on interest rate cuts in the near term as the world’s largest economy remains resilient.
Against the Japanese currency, the US dollar hit 150 yen for the first time since August 1. The US dollar closed the trading session up 0.4% at 150.24 yen.
“With the stronger-than-expected data, the dollar is moving higher,” said Eugene Epstein, a representative from Moneycorp in New York. “The dollar actually weakened when the Fed cut 50 basis points in September. But now that has been unwound.”
Data released on October 17 showed that U.S. retail sales rose 0.4% last month, following a 0.1% increase in August. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast retail sales rising 0.3%.
Meanwhile, the EUR turned down after the European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates for the third time this year at its policy meeting on October 17.
Inflation in the euro zone is increasingly under control, while the economic outlook for the region is deteriorating, the ECB said.
The euro fell to an 11-week low against the dollar of $1.0811 and closed the session at $1.0826, down 0.3%.
