The US dollar index is losing ground for a third consecutive day, trading around 99.00 during Asian hours on Friday.

The US dollar index is losing ground for a third consecutive day, trading around 99.00 during Asian hours on Friday. That is the Friday Asian session stamp. The same page’s chart line prints Dollar Index Spot at 98.98. The body uses around 99.00.
The same page says Waller prefers to keep rates unchanged in September if inflation data bring no major surprises. CME FedWatch there reprints a 50.2% September hike chance, down from 63.2% the prior day. Soft front-end pricing is the mechanism pulling the index lower for a third session.
August NFP is due later Friday. A hot jobs print that lifts hike odds again is the falsifier for this three-day slide.
