The U.S. dollar extended its decline on Wednesday, weighed down by growing concerns over the Trump administration\u2019s escalating trade war, while the British pound and euro advanced despite mixed economic data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 04:40 ET (08:40 GMT), the Dollar Index<\/a> \u2014 which measures the greenback against six major currencies<\/a> \u2014 fell 0.5% to 99.452. The index has now dropped over 8% year-to-date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dollar Slumps Amid Trade Tensions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The greenback’s weakness deepened after U.S. President Donald Trump launched a new probe into tariffs on all critical mineral imports \u2014 many of which come from China \u2014 intensifying the ongoing trade conflict between the world\u2019s two largest economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, Trump raised cumulative tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%, prompting a sharp 125% retaliatory response from Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors are also awaiting data on China\u2019s holdings of U.S. Treasurys, due later in the day. While analysts at ING expect no major change in China\u2019s $760 billion portfolio, a surprise sell-off could trigger further pressure on U.S. bonds and the dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, upcoming U.S. retail sales data and a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will be closely watched. This follows dovish comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller on Tuesday, which have already stirred expectations of a more accommodative Fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith long-term inflation expectations dipping to new lows, a dovish tone from Powell could further weigh on the dollar,\u201d ING noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Euro Strengthens Ahead of ECB Decision<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EUR\/USD rose 0.7% to 1.1364, recovering after last week\u2019s pullback from a three-year high of 1.1474.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markets now await Eurozone inflation figures, which are expected to show annual price growth slowing to 2.2% in March, down from 2.3% in February. A softer print could pave the way for the European Central Bank to cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Thursday, bringing the deposit rate down to 2.25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEUR\/USD may have already established a short-term low and could be on its way to test 1.1500,\u201d ING said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pound Rises Despite Soft U.K. Inflation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GBP\/USD climbed 0.5% to 1.3283, hovering near a six-month high, even as U.K. inflation slowed in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Consumer Price Index rose just 2.6% year-on-year, down from 2.8% in February and below expectations of 2.7%. The Bank of England held interest rates at 4.5% in March with an 8-1 vote, though softer inflation increases the chance of a rate cut in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the pound\u2019s gains remain driven by broader dollar weakness. \u201cGBP\/USD is being lifted by the soft dollar narrative and is eyeing last year\u2019s high of 1.3430,\u201d ING noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuan Struggles Despite Strong Chinese Growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Asia, USD\/JPY fell 0.5% to 142.49 as the yen benefited from safe-haven flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USD\/CNY edged up 0.1% to 7.3236, with the yuan under pressure from ongoing U.S.-China tensions. However, Chinese economic data surprised to the upside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retail sales<\/strong> rose 5.9%, boosted by government stimulus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GDP<\/strong> grew 5.4% year-on-year in Q1 2025, beating the forecast of 5.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industrial production<\/strong> surged 7.7% in March as exporters rushed shipments ahead of steep new U.S. tariffs taking effect April 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
