On Tuesday, a softer-than-expected rise in US producer prices in July, up 0.1% against estimates of 0.2% eased dollar. The Dollar Index dipped 0.51%, closed at 102.6 against other major currencies.

More importantly, the consumer price index report on Wednesday will serve as a pivotal indicator, guiding the Federal Reserve’s decisions on interest-rate policy. The data will provide crucial insights into whether inflationary pressures are persisting or subsiding, influencing the trajectory of future rate adjustments.
