US Dollar Index bias flipped 12 times to neutral on August 14, 2026
The US Dollar Index fell for a fourth consecutive session as soft US retail sales and producer price data reduced market expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes. This weakening in the dollar boosted currencies like the euro and the British pound, with the latter reaching a three-month high. The latest data points underscore waning hawkish bets on the Fed, pressuring the greenback.
