flag India's rupee rose 1.6% last week, Asia’s top performer, as U.S. inflation cooled and global rates diverged.

flag The Indian rupee was Asia’s top-performing currency last week, gaining 1.6% despite global forex volatility, according to Union Bank of India. flag The dollar held steady amid softer U.S. inflation data—2.7% year-on-year headline and 2.6% core inflation, the lowest since early 2021—boosting expectations of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. flag The Bank of Japan raised rates by 25 basis points to 0.75%, its highest in three decades, but the yen weakened as real rates stayed negative. flag The euro held above 1.17, while the Bank of England cut rates by 25 basis points to 3.75% in a narrow vote, citing weak growth. flag Markets now await U.S. third-quarter GDP and core PCE inflation data to assess the dollar’s direction amid diverging global monetary policies.
