In the current trading session, investors are focused on the performance of the US dollar index, which is holding position at 103.50. The February data from the US labor market shows that employment growth exceeded forecasts, but the unemployment rates rose from 3.54 to 3.6 percent. Despite this, market participants believe that the regulator will raise their interest rate by 50 basis points at the next meeting in order to prevent further inflation growth. Additional support for the dollar may be provided by the problems in the US banking system after Silver Gate and Silicon Valley bankruptcies. This could lead to a rapid outflow of deposits from other banks, increasing demand for the cash dollar.
