On Monday, the US dollar strengthened, forcing other currencies to reach multi-year lows. Its growth was supported by strong employment data, confirming the resilience of the US economy and complicating the prospects for a Fed rate cut. The dollar index, reflecting its exchange rate against a basket of currencies, reached 110.17, the highest in more than two years. This happened against the background of Friday's statistics, which showed an acceleration in job creation in December and a decrease in unemployment to 4.1%. These data have dampened expectations for a rate cut, and markets are now ruling out the possibility of even one cut in 2025. The publication of US inflation data on Wednesday could further strengthen the dollar if the CPI rises. Statements from the Fed's representatives are also expected this week, which may clarify their further actions. The US economy is demonstrating resilience, which supports a high dollar exchange rate. According to analysts, the labor market has coped with any signs of weakness. Plans for import tariffs, tax cuts, and tougher immigration may also have an impact on inflation. The euro fell to $1.0177, reaching its lowest level since November 2022, while the pound sterling fell 0.7%, dropping to a 14-month low of $1.21.
