The US dollar has weakened against major peers, tumbling from a two-week high as softer-than-expected inflation data further eroded market confidence in a near-term Federal Reserve interest rate hike.
The currency's decline has made acquiring US-made goods, such as iPhones, MacBooks, and PlayStations, significantly cheaper for international consumers, with prices up to 14.3% lower than in January.
The dollar's slide accelerated following a disappointing nonfarm payrolls report that signaled a cooling labor market.
The data print, which came in well below consensus expectations, immediately triggered a repricing of rate hike probabilities.
This dual pressure from weak inflation and employment figures has sustained selling pressure on the greenback.
For traders, the move underscores the market's pivot away from a hawkish Fed stance.
