The US currency is under pressure after the publication of a weak inflation report in the US. On Friday, August 11, the dollar index (#DX) closed in the negative zone (-0.36%). In July, the consumer price index in the US was 0.1%. Experts expected the growth rate of 0.2%. It should be recalled that earlier the FOMC representative W. Dudley was concerned about the low level of inflation in the country. The official believes that the growth of the US economy can be modest.
