Dollar eases on weak U.S. inflation data while kiwi plummets following rate cut
The U.S. dollar started Wednesday on shaky ground after tumbling overnight against major currencies, driven by a surprisingly benign reading on U.S. producer prices.

The index shows a downward movement from its recent high, indicating selling pressure. The Moving Averages (MAs) are sloping downward, signalling a continuation of the bearish momentum.

Disclaimer:
As markets await the release of U.S. CPI data, cautious positioning is likely to dominate. Any surprise in the inflation numbers could lead to sharp moves across currency pairs, particularly if the data diverges from expectations. Traders should be mindful of the potential volatility that lies ahead, particularly in light of recent central bank actions and the evolving economic landscape.
