The dollar index (DXY00) today is down by -0.13%. The dollar is under pressure today after US May consumer prices rose as expected, easing inflation fears and potentially keeping the Fed from tightening monetary policy.
Losses in the dollar are limited as today's stock weakness has boosted liquidity demand for the dollar. Also, today's +1% jump in crude oil prices raises inflation expectations and could prompt the Fed to tighten monetary policy, a supportive factor for the dollar.
