> The US dollar index hit a near one-month low on May 24, 2022 after Lagarde said euro zone rates would likely be positive by end-third quarter. The euro rose 0.42% to $1.07355 and had rebounded 3.7% over seven sessions from a low of $1.0349. Traders expected the ECB to catch up with the Fed's tightening cycle.
