EUR/USD news

NEW YORK (Reuters) -The dollar dropped broadly on Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pointed to a possible rate cut at the central bank's September meeting but stopped short of committing to such a move. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, was last down 0.96% on the day at 97.66, after trading around 98.7 before Powell's comments. "And if those risks materialize, they can do so quickly,” he told an audience of international economists and policymakers at the Fed’s annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Subdued world markets eyed proposals for a Ukraine-Russia summit with caution, while updates on the shaky U.S. housing market on Tuesday and this week's Federal Reserve conference in Jackson Hole dominated thinking.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar firmed across the board on Monday, a day before the release of a U.S. inflation report that could help determine whether the Federal Reserve lowers borrowing costs next month. "A very modest hawkish repricing of Fed policy expectations appears to be helping the move along, likely driven by participants squaring up some positions ahead of the risk that tomorrow's CPI print presents," he said. The dollar softened last week as investors adjusted their expectations for interest rate cuts from the Fed after soft data on U.S. jobs and manufacturing.
