The US dollar appears strong

On Monday, the US dollar remains under local pressure and is hovering around 1.0875.
Earlier, the head of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, spoke very cautiously about further changes in the interest rate. He said the risks of excessive or insufficient tightening are now more balanced.
The market interpreted his tone as “dovish,” i.e., too soft. Investors probably concluded that the Fed would stop raising the interest rate.
At the same time, Powell highlighted that the Federal Reserve was ready to continue tightening the monetary policy if this seemed reasonable.
According to market assessments, the Fed acted correctly and can afford to wait, neither raising nor decreasing the interest rate.
