United States. The US dollar is strengthening against the Japanese yen today while posting moderate losses against the euro and the British pound.
EUR/USD is holding near 1.1680, with momentum tilted upward as eurozone recovery strengthens and demand for the US dollar softens. Euro support came after Q2 GDP slowed from 0.6% to 0.1% q/q and from 1.5% to 1.4% y/y, matching expectations. Positive sentiment was also reinforced by Germany’s call for the US to honor previously agreed lower tariffs on EU autos before finalizing a new trade deal.
The US dollar is gaining ground against the euro, the pound, and the yen. Investors are weighing geopolitical and monetary developments that could shape near-term currency dynamics.
Last week, USD/JPY attempted to decline but managed to break through 146.88 (Murray [6/8]) amid investor expectations of a possible Fed policy pivot, despite hotter U.S. producer prices for July (PPI up from 2.4% to 3.3% y/y, core PPI from 2.6% to 3.7%). On the Japanese side, GDP growth exceeded forecasts in Q2: +0.3% q/q vs. +0.1% expected and +1.0% y/y vs. +0.4% projected. Private consumption rose 0.2% (forecast 0.1%), while capital spending surged 1.3%. These figures highlighted Japan’s economic resilience, raising expectations for potential BoJ rate hikes and boosting the yen.
USD/CHF is trading just above key support at 0.8036, with markets eyeing a potential breakdown. Swiss macro data came in weak: July producer prices fell –0.2% m/m vs. forecast 0.0% (previous –0.1%) and –0.9% y/y vs. –0.6% expected. This confirms the Swiss National Bank’s decision to cut rates to 0.0% and suggests the central bank will maintain its dovish tone at the September 25 meeting. Q2 GDP grew just 0.1%, well below the 0.4% consensus, while Q1 was revised up to 0.8% from 0.3%.
