EXPLAINED: Dollar weakens with crude oil prices | Rare Historical Photos

The dollar index (DXY00) today is down by -0.32%. The dollar is sliding today amid weakness in crude oil prices. WTI crude oil is down more than 3% today, easing inflation expectations and potentially persuading the Fed to ease monetary policy, a negative factor for the dollar. Losses in the dollar accelerated today after the University of Michigan's US Jun consumer sentiment index came in weaker than expected. The weakness in stocks today is limiting losses in the dollar, as weak stocks have boosted some liquidity demand for the dollar.

US May wholesale inventories rose +0.3% m/m, weaker than expectations of +0.4% m/m. May retail inventories rose +0.6% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.5% m/m.
