USD Index
On November 14, in the US market, the USD Index (DXY) measuring the fluctuations of the greenback against 6 major currencies decreased by 0.26%, down to 99.21 points.
The US dollar fell slightly in yesterday's trading session after US President Donald Trump signed a bill to end the longest government shutdown ever, boosting risk appetite.
The greenback weakened after the US President signed the bill at a ceremony at the Oval Office late Wednesday (November 12), unlocking funding for the government after the bill passed a vote in the House of Representatives.
The bill comes just hours before the closure comes into its 43rd consecutive day. This is also the longest closure in history.
The closure has caused widespread disruptions to federal services, most notably air traffic control and tourism safety personnel. At the same time, preventing the release of important economic data helps notify the Federal Reserve about the health status of the US economy before the policy meeting next month.
The reopening will result in a series of economic data publications delayed due to the closure, including a closely monitored monthly jobs report.
Analysts at ING informed that the White House said that data on the October salary table and CPI is unlikely to be published, meaning that fluctuations will take time to increase.
