U.S. dollar-USD rate to fall or rise this week? Here's what you may want to know
U.S. dollar dithered on Monday ahead of a key meeting between American President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy, while investors also looked ahead to the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium for more policy clues. Currency moves were largely subdued in the early Asia session, though the dollar steadied after last week's fall as traders further pared back bets of a jumbo Fed cut next month. The euro was little changed at $1.1705, while sterling edged up 0.07 per cent to $1.3557. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar advanced slightly to 97.85, after losing 0.4 per cent last week. Markets are now pricing in an 84 per cent chance the Fed would ease rates by a quarter point next month, down from 98% last week, after a raft of data including a jump in U.S. wholesale prices last month and a solid increase in July's retail sales figures dimmed the prospect of an oversized 50-basis-point cut. "While the data don't all point in the same direction, the U.S. economy looks to be in okay shape in the third quarter," said Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Undo "The Fed is likely to cut interest rates by year-end, either in September, when markets now price in a cut, or a few months later, when Comerica forecasts a cut." The main event for investors on Monday is a meeting between Trump and Zelenskiy, who will be joined by some European leaders, as Washington presses Ukraine to accept a quick peace deal to end Europe's deadliest war in 80 years. Live Events Trump is leaning on Zelenskiy to strike an agreement after he met Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin in Alaska and emerged more aligned with Moscow on seeking a peace deal instead of a ceasefire first. Also key for markets this week will be the Kansas City Federal Reserve's August 21-23 Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook and the central bank's policy framework. "I think (Powell) will also talk about the current economic conditions in the U.S., and that will be more policy relevant, that will be more interesting to markets," said Joseph Capurso, head of international and sustainable economics at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. "Given market pricing is very high for a rate cut in September, I think the risk is that Powell is hawkish, or is perceived to be hawkish, if he gives a balanced view of the U.S. economy." In other currencies, the dollar rose 0.11 per cent against the yen to 147.34, after falling roughly 0.4 per cent last week. Japan's government on Friday brushed aside rare and explicit comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who said the Bank of Japan was "behind the curve" on policy, which appeared to be aimed at pressuring the country's central bank into raising interest rates. The Australian dollar was up 0.1 per cent at $0.65145, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.15 per cent to $0.5934, after falling 0.5 per cent last week. FAQs Q1. How has Australian Dollar performed? A1. Australian dollar was up 0.1 per cent at $0.65145, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.15 per cent to $0.5934, after falling 0.5 per cent last week. Q2. Who is Ukraine President? A2. Ukraine President is Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Govt likely to set up corpus for strategic deepwater exploration
The government is planning to set up a corpus under the National Deepwater Exploration Mission to support strategic oil and gas exploration efforts in deepwater and ultra-deepwater areas. The exact contours of the plan are yet to be finalised, including the size of the corpus and its sources. 'The Prime Minister has emphasised upon the National Deepwater Exploration Mission where a corpus is identified by the Government of India for a focused and concerted strategy-driven exploration in deepwater and ultra-deepwater areas and Oil India Ltd (OIL) remains committed to this clarion call,' OIL Chairman and Managing Director Ranjit Rath said in an address to employees. Under the ninth round of the Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) bidding, OIL has already secured 40,000 square kilometre area in deepwater and ultra-deepwater exploration acreages in Mahanadi and KG Basins, and it is going to launch the seismic 3D and 2D data acquisition very soon, he said. Rath added that PM Modi has stressed upon the National Critical Mineral Mission, under which a corpus has already been identified to enhance exploration and production and also overseas assets acquisition with identified PSUs, in which OIL is also reflected. The company is pursuing such diversified alternatives aligned with national priorities. 'We have recently diversified to critical minerals. We have bagged two blocks, including a graphite and a vanadium block in Arunachal Pradesh, and a potash block in Rajasthan. We are also looking at acquisition of overseas assets of critical minerals,' he said. Rath said the company is on track to meet production targets, but more needs to be done. OIL operates primarily in upper Assam where the market for natural gas is still constrained. He congratulated the OIL team managing the Rajasthan asset for achieving the fastest monetisation of the Bakhri Tibba Discovered Small Field (DSF) block. 'We are supplying 30,000 standard cubic metres of natural gas towards power generation from that field. A similar call of duty is emerging in Tripura. I would call upon the Tripura asset team to ensure that by March 31, 2026, or before, we are able to monetise the Tulamara DSF where we have already done the first well and we intend to drill three more wells soon,' he said. India's crude oil import bill last financial year stood at around $140 billion, with import dependence of 90 per cent in case of crude oil and 50 per cent in case of natural gas, as on May 2025. 'Every drop of crude oil extracted from the sub-surface is a huge contribution. Gone are the days when we used to get price realisation of $80-85 per barrel. The current realisation is only $66 per barrel, a drop of 22 per cent. That is why enhanced production matters,' he said. OIL is also working on mapping areas where potential exists for productivity enhancement with a focus on cost optimisation.
