The Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury did not intervene in foreign exchange markets during January–March 2025, according to the New York Fed's quarterly report to Congress. The broad trade-weighted dollar index fell 2% in Q1, with a 4.3% drop against the euro and 4.6% against the yen.
A weaker dollar generally supports dollar-priced commodity demand from abroad and tends to lift US export competitiveness for grains and oilseeds, but the report itself is a routine disclosure with little new price information.
