What’s new? Dollar Index (DXY), a measure of the strength of the US dollar against a basket of major world currencies, fell below 98 for the first time since the beginning of 2022. According to analysts at CoinDesk, a publication owned by crypto exchange Bullish, the drop signals a marked shift in global currency markets and could create a favorable environment for risky assets, especially cryptocurrencies.

Several factors are contributing to the current decline. Overall inflation in the US came in at 2,4% year-over-year, compared to a prediction of 2,5%, which reinforces market expectations of monetary policy easing by the US Federal Reserve.
