Global currency markets saw the euro continue its advance for the second day in a row against the US dollar, approaching its highest levels in two weeks, supported by the weakness of the US currency after the release of US inflation data which strengthened expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve next month.
Conversely, the likelihood of a European interest rate cut in September has diminished, amid continued inflationary pressures in the Eurozone, as investors await further economic indicators in the coming days.
The dollar index also showed a decline for the second consecutive session, reflecting continued pressure on the US currency, while markets await important US data including producer prices, retail sales and unemployment claims.
On the other hand, reports indicate that the majority of European Central Bank members prefer to keep interest rates unchanged at the September meeting, while continuing to closely monitor global economic developments.
