The dollar accelerated its fall against world currencies amid expectations of the Fed's decision

On Tuesday evening, the dollar continued to decline against the world's leading currencies. The euro rose to $1.1843 against $1.1761 the day before, and the dollar/yen pair fell to 146.6 from 147.4. The dollar index, reflecting its dynamics against a basket of six currencies, sank by 0.61% to 96.77 points.

The pressure on the US currency was exerted by fresh macro data: retail sales in the US rose by 0.6% mom in August, exceeding forecasts, and industrial production unexpectedly added 0.1%.

Investors' main attention is focused on the Fed meeting: according to CME Group, 96% of analysts expect a reduction in the key rate by 25 bps to 4-4.25%, while 4% allow for a more drastic easing – by 50 bps
