The U.S. Dollar has sharply declined, snapping a six-session winning streak, following a disappointing July jobs report showing only 73,000 jobs added, far below expectations, and significant downward revisions to June's figures. Unemployment rose to 4.2%, and markets now anticipate an 80% chance of a 25 basis point Fed rate cut in September, with 50 basis points of easing fully priced in for the year. The Dollar's losses have boosted other currencies, with the Euro erasing recent losses and the Japanese Yen surging 1.6% as traders seek safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, President Trump announced new tariffs on non-trade-deal nations, further impacting market sentiment.
