Ce vendredi, le dollar est resté faible en raison des inquiétudes croissantes concernant la croissance, l Has Indian rupee briefly rose against the dollar above a level closely watched by traders, but failed to break through it convincingly. The South African rand for its part was down on Friday and ready to suffer a weekly loss against the US dollar.

The U.S. dollar strove to find direction on Friday as fears of an economic downturn dampened risk sentiment. For its part, the yen slipped as speculation continues to swirl that the Bank of Japan will eventually move away from its ultra-easy policy. Indeed, we note that the Dollar Index rose 0.069% to 102,090, not far from the seven-month low of 101.51 that it touched on Wednesday, measuring the U.S. currency against six peers. A After falling by 7.7% in the last three months of 2022, the index is down 1.3% since the start of the year. The Japanese yen weakened by 0.32% against the dollar to 128.86.

S'agissant de la roupie, elle s' est raised against the dollar above a level closely watched by traders, but did not failed to pierce it convincingly. Indeed, it traded at 81.25 per US dollar at 10:32am IST, compared to 81.36 in the previous session. The local currency reached an intraday high of 81.13.

Le rand sud-africain quant à lui, était en baisse Friday and ready to suffer a weekly loss against the US dollar, as crippling power outages continued to increase economic uncertainty. The rand traded at 17,2700 against the dollar, or 0.1% at 0640 GMT, lower than its previous close and a fall of more than 2% since the start of the week.
