The U.S. Dollar ends the week weaker, with mixed movements leaving it nearly flat overall. Market speculation centers on a potential 25-basis point Fed rate cut, with a 90 percent chance for September. Concerns over tariff-driven inflation and halted stock rallies add to uncertainty. A U.S.-Russia summit and potential government investment in Intel could impact markets, while European equities and the Euro may benefit from progress in peace talks. Domestically, July Retail Sales grew slower than expected at 0.5 percent. The Euro gains 1 percent against the Dollar, supported by U.S. economic doubts, while the Mexican Peso weakens slightly but remains resilient alongside emerging market currencies, buoyed by potential Chinese economic stimulus.
