The US currency continues to lose ground against a basket of world currencies. The dollar index (#DX) has updated key lows. In July, the CB consumer confidence index in the US slowed down from 98.3 to 92.6. Demand for the US dollar is still low amid growing doubts about a rapid economic recovery due to the outbreak in new cases of coronavirus in the United States.
