U.S. Dollar Weakens to 100.96 Amid Falling Oil Prices and Fed Policy Divisions, July 9

On Thursday (July 9), the U.S. dollar index fell to 100.96, driven by declining oil prices and Federal Reserve meeting minutes that revealed significant policy divisions among officials. The June 16-17 FOMC minutes released Wednesday showed that while the Fed kept rates unchanged, policymakers disagreed on future rate direction. Most officials believe inflation can return to the Fed's 2% target without further rate hikes, while others worry that strong AI-driven demand, Middle East conflicts, and tariff policies may keep inflation elevated, leaving rate increase options open.
