The US dollar is experiencing a noticeable decline today as investors shift towards higher-risk currencies, coinciding with positive news about diplomatic negotiations that eased demand for "safe havens."

📊 Performance of the dollar index and major currencies:

• Dollar Index (DXY): Trading at levels of 98.19, the lowest level in 6 weeks, losing the upward momentum it recently gained.

• Euro (EUR/USD): Strong rebound for the euro breaking the 1.1800 barrier, benefiting from reduced geopolitical pressures and improved risk appetite in Europe.

• British Pound (GBP/USD): Continues to rise and stabilizes at 1.3590, supported by expectations of stable UK interest rates and a declining dollar.

• Japanese Yen (USD/JPY): Relative stability around levels of 159.00, with cautious monitoring of Japanese inflation data.

🗝️ Why is the dollar declining today?

1. Geopolitical breakthrough: Reports of progress in negotiations between Washington and Tehran towards a "comprehensive agreement" reduced the need for investors to hedge in dollars.

2. Oil prices drop: Brent crude falling below $96 alleviated concerns about imported inflation, leading to a calming of expectations for additional Federal Reserve rate hikes.

3. Federal statements: Hints from Federal Reserve officials (such as Austin Goolsbee) that a rate cut may be on the table if conditions stabilize, weakening the attractiveness of the dollar's yield.

📈 Quick technical outlook:

• EUR/USD: Stability above 1.1800 may open the door to levels of 1.1870.

• DXY: Breaking the support level at 98.00 may lead to a broader sell-off of the dollar against major and emerging currencies.
