The US Dollar Index climbed above 100.00 after inflation figures aligned with forecasts, bolstering the currency ahead of key economic releases.
The US Dollar (USD) strengthened on Wednesday, extending its recovery after the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report matched market expectations. The US Dollar Index (DXY) rose above the 100.00 threshold, reflecting broad-based gains against major currencies as traders positioned for a busy data session.
Earlier reports showed inflation holding steady, reducing immediate pressure on the Federal Reserve to adjust monetary policy. Analysts had anticipated the CPI print, which provided no surprises, reinforcing the dollar’s resilience amid a packed economic calendar.
