币界网报道：The U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies as the euro gained nearly 1% following signals of potential policy shifts from the European Central Bank (ECB). The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six peers, fell 0.5% to 103.50, marking its steepest single-day drop in two weeks. Analysts attribute the euro's rally to ECB officials hinting at possible rate cuts later this year if inflation continues to ease, contrasting with the Federal Reserve's more cautious stance. Meanwhile, the yen strengthened slightly after Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda suggested the central bank might adjust its ultra-loose monetary policy sooner than expected. In commodities, gold prices rose 0.8% to $2,040 per ounce as the weaker dollar boosted demand for the precious metal. Oil prices remained stable with Brent crude hovering around $82 per barrel amid ongoing Middle East tensions and mixed demand outlooks. Market participants are now closely watching upcoming U.S. jobs data and ECB meeting minutes for further clues on monetary policy directions. The dollar's decline comes as investors reassess the timing of expected Fed rate cuts, with current market pricing suggesting a 65% chance of a reduction by June. Currency strategists note that while the dollar may face short-term pressure, its medium-term outlook remains supported by relatively strong U.S. economic fundamentals compared to other major economies.
