The U.S. dollar index continued to decline on Tuesday, plunging sharply in late trading to hit a four-year low, as investors sold the greenback amid multiple expectations.
The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, fell 0.84 percent Tuesday, closing at 96.219 in late forex trading.
It later dropped further to 95.55, marking its lowest level since mid-February 2022.
The euro, the heaviest-weighted component in the dollar index, rose above the 1.20 threshold against the dollar for the first time since 2021.
Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Cambridge Global Payments, said that economic policy uncertainty has surged again amid ongoing U.S. tariff policies and the potential for another U.S. government shutdown, pulling the dollar index lower.
