The dollar took a tumble here Friday, falling to a four-month low against the euro in response to weak US economic data.
The single European currency in late-day trade was at US$1.2442 against US$1.2351 late Thursday in New York.
The dollar was meanwhile trading at ¥108.73, down from ¥109.76 on Thursday.
The dollar initially fell following the release of weak US consumer price inflation numbers and then began to test lows after data from the Treasury showed a decline of almost US$20 billion in asset inflows.
The greenback lost more ground after the University of Michigan consumer sentiment data came in weaker than expected.
"Overall, confidence remains at healthy levels, but following the soft core CPI reading in June and the drop in portfolio capital inflows registered in May, the weaker-than-expected Michigan data will act as yet another blow to the dollar," said Calyon currency strategist Mitul Kotecha.
US core consumer prices -- which exclude food and energy -- rose 0.1 percent, below the consensus for a rise of 0.2 percent and slashing any remaining expectations for rapid US interest rate hikes.
Earlier, the Treasury Department said net foreign capital flows into the US declined by almost US$20 billion, to US$56.4 billion in May.
"The figure underscores concerns over potential problems with the US current account deficit," said Ray Attrill, research director at 4Cast.
Friday trio of weak data "pushed the market in the direction it wanted to go," with investors using it as an excuse to sell dollars amid the negative sentiment on the US currency, he said.
The euro rose to a high of US$1.2462 against the dollar, its highest since March, before falling back and settling around the US$1.245 level.
Analysts said the euro's rise came almost entirely on the back of dollar falls and showed little reaction to earlier EU inflation data.
The eurozone harmonized index of consumer prices rose a final 2.4 percent year-on-year in June, unchanged from the provisional estimate, but the core rate unexpectedly rose 1.9 percent after a gain of 1.8 percent in May.
Analysts said the data should keep intact the growing consensus that the European Central Bank will raise interest rates by the end of the year.
The euro was changing hands at US$1.2442 from US$1.2351 late on Thursday in New York, ¥135.29 (¥135.56), £0.6647 (£0.6631) and 1.5251 Swiss francs (Sf1.5274).
The dollar stood at ¥108.73 (¥109.76) and 1.2255 Swiss francs (Sf1.2362).
The pound was at US$1.8719 (US$1.8525), ¥203.51 (¥203.32) and 2.2941 Swiss francs (Sf2.2901).
On the London Bullion Market, the price of an ounce of gold was at US$406.30 from US$403.15 late on Thursday.
DECOUPLING? In a sign of deeper US-China technology decoupling, Apple has held initial talks about using Baidu’s generative AI technology in its iPhones, the Wall Street Journal said China has introduced guidelines to phase out US microprocessors from Intel Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) from government PCs and servers, the Financial Times reported yesterday. The procurement guidance also seeks to sideline Microsoft Corp’s Windows operating system and foreign-made database software in favor of domestic options, the report said. Chinese officials have begun following the guidelines, which were unveiled in December last year, the report said. They order government agencies above the township level to include criteria requiring “safe and reliable” processors and operating systems when making purchases, the newspaper said. The US has been aiming to boost domestic semiconductor
Nvidia Corp earned its US$2.2 trillion market cap by producing artificial intelligence (AI) chips that have become the lifeblood powering the new era of generative AI developers from start-ups to Microsoft Corp, OpenAI and Google parent Alphabet Inc. Almost as important to its hardware is the company’s nearly 20 years’ worth of computer code, which helps make competition with the company nearly impossible. More than 4 million global developers rely on Nvidia’s CUDA software platform to build AI and other apps. Now a coalition of tech companies that includes Qualcomm Inc, Google and Intel Corp plans to loosen Nvidia’s chokehold by going
ENERGY IMPACT: The electricity rate hike is expected to add about NT$4 billion to TSMC’s electricity bill a year and cut its annual earnings per share by about NT$0.154 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) has left its long-term gross margin target unchanged despite the government deciding on Friday to raise electricity rates. One of the heaviest power consuming manufacturers in Taiwan, TSMC said it always respects the government’s energy policy and would continue to operate its fabs by making efforts in energy conservation. The chipmaker said it has left a long-term goal of more than 53 percent in gross margin unchanged. The Ministry of Economic Affairs concluded a power rate evaluation meeting on Friday, announcing electricity tariffs would go up by 11 percent on average to about NT$3.4518 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)
OPENING ADDRESS: The CEO is to give a speech on the future of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence at the trade show’s opening on June 3, TAITRA said Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) chairperson and chief executive officer Lisa Su (蘇姿丰) is to deliver the opening keynote speech at Computex Taipei this year, the event’s organizer said in a statement yesterday. Su is to give a speech on the future of high-performance computing (HPC) in the artificial intelligence (AI) era to open Computex, one of the world’s largest computer and technology trade events, at 9:30am on June 3, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) said. Su is to explore how AMD and the company’s strategic technology partners are pushing the limits of AI and HPC, from data centers to
