The dollar index (DXY00) on Thursday fell by -0.80% and posted a 1-month low. Central bank divergence weighed on the dollar Thursday after the ECB raised interest rates by +25 bp and signaled another rate hike in July, whereas the Fed on Wednesday paused its rate hikes. Lower T-note yields and stronger stocks Thursday also undercut the dollar.
U.S. weekly initial unemployment claims were unchanged at 262,000, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of a decline to 245,000.
