Weakening U.S. Dollar Amid Declining Bond Yields and Weak Economic Indicators

After reaching its highest level this year at 110.17 points on January 13, 2025, the U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the dollar’s performance against a basket of six currencies, has declined to 106.12 points over the past two days, marking its lowest level since December 10, 2024—a drop of approximately 4%. Currently, the index is trading around 106.50 points, down by about 2% since the beginning of the year.

The decline in the U.S. Dollar Index can be attributed to several factors, including:
• A decrease in U.S. Treasury yields across various maturities. The yield on the two-year Treasury notes, which is highly sensitive to Federal Reserve policy, stood at 4.076% yesterday, its lowest level since December 6, 2024. Meanwhile, the yield on the ten-year Treasury notes, which is more influenced by U.S. fiscal policy, fell to 4.302%, its lowest since December 12, 2024.
• Weak U.S. economic indicators in recent weeks, such as a decline in existing home sales, a drop in the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, and a decrease in overall consumer confidence. Additionally, the Services PMI recorded a contraction at 49.7 points, marking its lowest level since January 2023.

The key question now is whether the U.S. dollar will rebound soon, especially in light of the Trump administration’s threats to impose tariffs on imported goods, particularly from the European Union, Canada, Mexico, and China. Such measures could fuel U.S. inflation, potentially pressuring the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates elevated for a longer period—or even raise them—thereby providing a positive boost for the dollar.

From a technical standpoint, the 50-day moving average, which stands at 108.02 points, has been breached, along with the support level represented by the 100-day moving average at 106.60 points. This suggests a weak start for the U.S. Dollar Index in 2025. Additionally, a bearish crossover has occurred between the 20-day moving average (currently at 107.40 points) and the 50-day moving average, signaling a negative outlook for the greenback. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at 39 points, indicating negative momentum for the index. Similarly, the MACD indicator shows the blue line below the orange Signal Line, reinforcing the bearish sentiment for the U.S. dollar.
