US dollar tumbles as investors shift focus.

20-05-2022 09:53

“Heat upon greenback cools, all eyes on future data.”

US dollar loses its steam, trimming off further gains and recording its worst week since early February. Investors shifted their focus towards other risky assets as they may have fully digested the possibility for more aggressive rate hike from the Federal Reserve. Likewise, as Fed’s decision is solely dependent on future US data, investors shifted their focus for the time being before placing the limelight back upon greenback.
