Dollar Index Slips as Investors React to Concerns Over U.S. Economic Softness and Delayed Data
The U.S. dollar weakened on November 14 as uncertainty surrounding delayed federal data releases raised concerns about underlying economic softness. The dollar index was headed for a weekly decline of 0.3%, reflecting reduced demand for the currency as traders reassessed growth expectations. Analysts noted that delays in key indicators such as retail sales and industrial output left markets without clarity at a time when monetary policy signals are critical. The softer dollar also influenced global currency movements, with several emerging-market currencies seeing mild appreciation during the session.
