The US Dollar Index remained close to the 101.40 mark, supported by stable manufacturing activity and elevated US Treasury yields, according to FX Street. This level reflects underlying strength in the dollar despite some economic softness.
US ISM Manufacturing PMI for June came in at 53.3, down from 54.0 in May and below market expectations. However, the reading stayed above the 50.0 expansion threshold, signaling ongoing growth in the manufacturing sector, FX Street reported.
For Japanese investors, the sustained US dollar strength and steady manufacturing data will be important factors to watch, especially as they influence currency pairs like USD/JPY and broader market sentiment.
