US Dollar Slides Toward Worst Year Since 2017: Yen Intervention Watch and What a Weaker Greenback Means for 2026 Investors

In holiday-thin trading, the greenback fell to fresh multi-month lows against key peers, while investors leaned into a growing view that the Federal Reserve has room to keep cutting rates in 2026, even as other central banks appear closer to the end of their easing cycles. At the same time, the Japanese yen remained the market’s pressure point, with traders on alert for possible intervention from Tokyo. Kitco+1
