NASDAQ:POWI 13 October 2025

June 10, 2026, 12:57 PM EDT. The US dollar index slipped 0.13% after May consumer price index (CPI) data showed inflation rising 4.2% year-on-year, matching forecasts and easing concerns of aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) tightening. Core CPI rose 2.9%, the quickest pace in seven months. Despite this, crude oil prices jumped 1%, raising inflation fears that may prompt Fed rate hikes. Geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran boosted safe-haven demand for the dollar, limiting losses. Swap markets price in no expected rate change at the next Fed meeting. Meanwhile, the euro gained 0.12%, supported by expectations of a 25 basis point European Central Bank (ECB) hike, although oil's rise threatens the Eurozone economy. The yen weakened further against the dollar amid rising Japanese producer prices and hawkish Bank of Japan signals, despite oil price pressures on Japan's import-reliant economy.
