  • Dollar Dips on Disappointing US Economic Data; Euro Supports Gains
    April 9, 2026, 12:55 PM EDT. The U.S. dollar slipped 0.24% amid weaker-than-expected economic data, including a downward revision of Q4 GDP, a decline in personal income, and a rise in jobless claims to an 8-week high. These signs point to a softer labor market and restrained spending. Despite this, dollar losses were capped by concerns over the US-Iran ceasefire and a 4% surge in crude oil prices, which may spur inflation and press the Federal Reserve to maintain hawkish policies. Meanwhile, the euro gained 0.21%, bolstered by stronger German trade figures and hawkish ECB commentary, though gains were offset by falling German industrial production and rising oil prices, which pose inflation risks to the Eurozone economy.
