The world's most widely traded currency pairs also happen to be the "most boring" currency pairs: the euro / dollar has been hovering near the long-run average (around 1.11) since last November.

Even though the US dollar has fallen by 3.1% against the main rival currencies in the past 3 months, the US dollar has only depreciated to 1.1% against the euro, the smallest.

The volatility of the US dollar against the euro also dropped to its lowest level since September 2014, which shows the lack of investor confidence.

It was expected that 0.90. interest rate futures indicated that the probability of raising interest rates by the end of the Federal Reserve was only 50%, which was further down compared with 54% at the end of March.

The lack of a clear trend has prompted some US dollar leaders to "surrender their hands".
