During today's Asian trading, the US dollar declined moderately against major currencies, following a slight increase the day before.
The ICE index, which tracks the dynamics of the dollar against six currencies (euro, swiss franc, yen, canadian dollar, pound sterling and swedish krona), fell by 0.22%.
The focus of traders' attention this week is data on US consumer prices, which will be published on Friday. Experts expect the inflation rate to accelerate to 6.7% from October's 6.2%, which is already the highest in 30 years.
Meanwhile, concerns about the negative consequences of the spread of the new version of the coronavirus "omicron" for the global economy have weakened amid signals that it is not more dangerous than others.
The yen rose against the US dollar, despite the data on Japan. Japan's GDP in the third quarter decreased by 0.9% compared to the previous three months, according to the final data of the government of the country. Previously, the decline was estimated at 0.8%. Analysts did not predict a revision of the indicator. The worsening economic situation is driven by a new wave of COVID-19 and continuing supply chain disruptions.
