Dollar hits 2025 low, Middle East tensions fuel risk-off mood
LONDON - The dollar hit a new 2025 low on Thursday, while stocks eased from record highs, as a cocktail of rising Middle East tensions and concern over the fragility of a trade truce between Washington and Beijing drew investors into safe-haven assets. Separately, a report on U.S. consumer inflation on Wednesday showed overall price pressures remained contained in May, largely due to declines in the cost of gasoline, cars and housing. But most economists expect inflation to pick up as the impact of U.S. tariffs begins to bite. The dollar, which has lost around 10% in value against a basket of currencies this year, fell to its lowest since April 2022 in European trading. Global stocks took a breather from the almost-unbroken rally that has run since early April, leaving the MSCI All-Country World index flat, just below Wednesday's all-time high. In Europe, the STOXX 600 fell 0.8%, led mostly by airlines, given brewing tensions in the Middle East and a deadly crash of an Air India flight bound for London that killed at least 30 people near the Indian city of Ahmedabad. Futures on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 0.5-0.6%. The U.S. administration on Wednesday said U.S. personnel were being moved out of the Middle East due to heightened security risks in the region, which briefly drove oil prices up by 4% before they receded. "(A flare-up in tensions) is a significant tail risk, but I don't think it is anybody's baseline forecasts. So it's something to watch if there is a real escalation there, then markets will take fright and that would have ramifications for the oil price," Daiwa Capital economist Chris Scicluna said. Iran, for its part, said it will not abandon its right to uranium enrichment, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Thursday, adding that a "friendly" regional country had alerted Tehran over a potential military strike by Israel. Classic safe-haven assets got a lift. The Swiss franc and the Japanese yen strengthened, pushing the dollar down by 1% against the franc and down 0.7% against the yen, while gold rose nearly 1% to $3,385 an ounce. The sense of relief stemming from a positive conclusion to U.S.-China trade talks earlier this week, which President Donald Trump said was a "great deal with China", evaporated by Thursday. RED, WHITE AND BLUE LETTERS Adding yet another dose of uncertainty in the markets, Trump said the U.S. would send out letters in one to two weeks outlining the terms of trade deals to dozens of other countries, which they could embrace or reject. "Markets may have no choice but to respond to Trump's tariff threat — even if it's just posturing to bring others to the table. The gap between 'risk-on' positioning and real-world risks has stretched too far," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxobank. Trump's erratic tariff policies have roiled global markets this year, prompting hordes of investors to exit U.S. assets, especially the dollar, as they worried about rising prices and slowing economic growth. The euro rose by as much as 1.07% to $1.16, its highest since October 2021. U.S. Treasuries also rallied in price, pushing yields down 3.5 basis points to below 4.38%, while two-year yields, which are more sensitive to inflation and interest-rate expectations, eased 2.7 bps to 3.92%. Later in the day, the focus will be on a producer inflation report as some of the components feed into the Fed's preferred inflation gauge - the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index. Wednesday's consumer inflation index kept alive the prospect of the Federal Reserve cutting rates by a quarter point, but only in September, as policymakers assess how tariffs work their way through the real economy. "I suspect it's probably going to be a combination of the two. Therefore it makes sense for the Fed to wait and see what happens rather than rushing into a rate cut," AMP Capital's head of investment strategy and chief economist Shane Oliver said. Oil, which has fallen by 20% in the last year, eased by 1.6% to $68.63 a barrel, but was still pinned near two-month highs, adding another moving part to the outlook for interest rates.

Rush into safe haven assets pushes euro to highest since late 2021
The euro hit its highest level in almost four years against the U.S. dollar as investors rushed into safe-haven assets on Thursday while remaining cautious about the impact of the U.S.-China trade deal. Geopolitical risks were in focus after President Donald Trump said some U.S. personnel were being moved out of the Middle East because "it could be a dangerous place", adding that Washington would not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. A cocktail of rising Middle East tensions and concern over the fragility of the trade truce between the U.S. and China drew investors into safe-haven assets. Analysts noted that the dollar serves as a key barometer of trade talks sentiment, while geopolitical instability prompted investors to buy safe-haven Swiss francs and yen. The franc rose 1.01% to 0.8123 versus the greenback , its highest level since April 22, and the yen climbed 0.70% to 143.40. The euro reached its highest since late 2021 at $1.1610 and was last up 0.99% at $1.1600. Some analysts argued that the euro has also drawn support from a hawkish European Central Bank, which hinted at a pause in its year-long easing cycle after inflation finally returned to its 2% target. However, ECB policymaker Isabel Schnabel said on Thursday the strong euro exchange rate is driven by a positive confidence shock in Europe - investors being drawn to the euro as a safe haven - and not by interest rate differentials. TRADE DEAL DEADLINE On the trade front, Trump said he would be willing to extend a July 8 deadline for completing trade talks with countries. But he added that the U.S. would send out letters in coming weeks specifying the terms for trade deals to dozens of other countries, which they could then embrace or reject. Investors argued that such a move keeps the risk of a July 9 jump in U.S. import tariffs on the table, which is regarded as negative for the dollar. The greenback and U.S. Treasuries dropped sharply after Trump announced a blitz of reciprocal tariffs - which he dubbed "Liberation Day" - in early April. "By year-end, we do not expect the effective average tariff rate to be much different from its current value," said Inga Fechner, senior economist for global trade at ING, indicating duties at 10-15% for the euro area, 50% for China and 10-15% for the rest of the world. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar fell 0.74% at 97.84. It hit 97.786, its lowest since March 2022. U.S. Treasury yields dropped on Wednesday as the closely watched "core" consumer price index eased some pressure on the Federal Reserve to maintain higher interest rates for longer. However, analysts remained cautious about the inflation outlook ahead of Thursday's release of the producer price index. "We suspect the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) reading will prove modestly firmer, although the result will also hinge on the inputs from core PPI," said David Doyle, head of economics at Macquarie. "Despite the subdued figures, through year-end, we expect year-on-year core inflation to remain elevated and potentially (to) rise as price pressures flow from recent tariff implementation." Markets priced two Fed rate cuts of 25 basis points by year-end, with an 80% chance of the first move in September and 100 bps by September 2026. The onshore yuan rose 0.1% to 7.1818 per dollar, though gains were capped by the still-fragile truce in the U.S.-China trade war and the uncertainty surrounding the next moves of the two countries. Barclays sees plenty of headwinds over the medium term that could push the currency back onto a depreciation path, even if it might gain a little further from below 7.20.
