The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) softened on Thursday, testing 44,600 at its lowest point before staging a half-hearted recovery to 44,750.

It all looks fairly quiet on the FX front this morning as markets await tomorrow’s comments from Fed Chair Powell.

The dollar is little changed after last night's release of the FOMC minutes for July. That FOMC meeting was held before the release of the July jobs data – meaning that all the references to a 'solid' jobs market in those minutes are now under scrutiny, ING's FX analyst Chris Turner notes.

US Dollar (USD) eased slightly overnight, in line with sideways trading. DXY was last at 98.28, OCBC's FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note.

Dow Jones futures fall by 0.11%, trading around 44,950, along with the S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures steady around 6,400 and 23,300, respectively, during European hours on Thursday ahead of the opening of the North American session.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) faced fresh bearish pressures on Wednesday, with the major equity index getting dragged lower in early trading as tech stocks saw further profit-taking.

Hardly anyone will be interested in what the minutes of the last FOMC meeting at the end of July reveal this evening. The decisive factor for the market will be what Fed Chairman Jerome Powell says in his speech on Friday at the conference in Jackson Hole, which begins tomorrow.

US Dollar (USD) continued to inch higher against most currencies overnight in quiet trading as markets stay sidelined, waiting for Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole. DXY was last at 98.33 levels, OCBC's FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note.

Dow Jones futures decline during European trading on Wednesday, ahead of the opening of North American markets, trading below 44,900, down by 0.23%. Moreover, S&P 500 futures fall 0.23% to trade near 6,400, while Nasdaq 100 futures depreciate by 0.31%, trading near 23,400.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) flubbed an early rise on Tuesday, jumping higher before backsliding through the rest of the day, erasing the early morning gains.

Markets continue to play the waiting game and the major currencies are idling in a calm, range trading environment ahead of Friday’s Powell comments, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report.

The meeting between Ukrainian President Zelensky and US President Trump yesterday certainly went better than feared. At least in comparison to the disastrous meeting in February.

Yesterday’s summit between President Zelenskyy, European leaders, and President Trump in Washington didn’t deliver huge surprises but confirmed that the US is open to providing security guarantees to Ukraine.

US Dollar (USD) inched higher overnight, in absence of data. DXY was last at 98.03 levels, OCBC's FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note.

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is gaining ground for the second successive session and trading around 98.20 during the Asian hours on Tuesday.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) eased slightly on Monday, paring last week’s gains. A quiet start to the week is giving investors some room to breathe before the next round of key economic data, as well as the start of this year’s economic symposium at Jackson Hole.

The markets are off to a slow start, with low vol summertime trading still overshadowing broader developments, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret note.

US Dollar (USD) eased lower into Friday NY close. DXY was last at 97.90 levels, OCBC's FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note.

Dow Jones futures fall during early European trading on Monday, ahead of the opening of North American markets, trading below 45,000, down by 0.2%. Moreover, S&P 500 futures decline 0.1% to trade near 6,450, while Nasdaq 100 futures remained subdued near 23,800.

The US Dollar Index (DXY), an index of the value of the US Dollar (USD) measured against a basket of six world currencies, trades on a flat note near 97.85 during the Asian trading hours on Monday.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) surged to record highs early on Friday, touching chart territory north of 45,250 for the first time ever.

Hot US PPI data yesterday put the brakes on thinking that the Fed will cut interest rates aggressively in the next few months, driving a short, sharp pop in the dollar.

Following the release of the CPI figures on Tuesday, the trade-weighted US dollar lost around half a percent. This weakness continued over the past two days, until yesterday's producer price inflation figures were released.

The much-anticipated Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska is scheduled for 20.30 BST/21.30 CET, so any headlines may just be able to impact late US trading, but it’s quite possible that the bulk of the market reaction will only materialise on Monday.

US Dollar (USD) jumped overnight in response to hotter-than-expected PPI while Treasury Secretary Bessent made clarification on his earlier comments with regards to rate cuts. DXY was last at 97.88 levels, OCBC's FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note.

The US Dollar remains trading within a descending channel. The bullish reaction to the stronger-than-expected PPI figures seen on Thursday was capped at the top of the channel, around 98.35, and the index has given away practically all post-PPI gains on Friday, returning to levels below 98.00.

Dow Jones futures post a fresh all-time high during the European trading session on Friday.

The US Dollar (USD) showed some signs of life on Thursday, this time coming from firmer-than-expected prints from US producer prices and the weekly report on the labour market.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) declined on Thursday, ending a two-day bullish run and shedding around 200 points.

The US Dollar (USD) has firmed modestly against most major currencies in overnight trade, with the Japanese Yen (JPY) and Pound Sterling (GBP) bucking the trend. The JPY is outperforming in the wake of comments from US Treasury Sec.
