According to Odaily, Swissquote Bank analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya has noted that the U.S. dollar has weakened as investors anticipate that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell may signal an upcoming interest rate cut during his speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday.

Ozkardeskaya pointed out that while the U.S. economy is currently outperforming many other global economies, this strong performance does not provide the Federal Reserve with sufficient reason to cut interest rates more aggressively than other central banks in the coming months. The market's expectation of a more dovish tone from Powell has led to the dollar's recent decline.

The Jackson Hole Symposium, an annual event closely watched by financial markets, could provide further insights into the Fed's monetary policy direction, potentially influencing currency movements and broader market sentiment.
