Dollar Slides as Chinese Stimulus Boosts the Yuan

The dollar index (DXY00) Thursday fell by -0.41%.  The dollar was under pressure after the Chinese yuan rose to a 16-month high against the dollar after the government boosted stimulus measures. Also, Thursday’s rally in stocks curbed liquidity demand for the dollar.  Losses in the dollar were limited due to Thursday's stronger-than-expected US weekly jobless claims and Q2 GDP reports, hawkish factors for Fed policy that pushed T-note yields higher.

US weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly fell -4,000 to a 4-month low of 218,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of an increase to 223,000.
