The dollar index dropped below 105.7 on Tuesday after data showing a slowdown in US manufacturing and services sectors boosted expectations for interest rate cuts. The US private sector saw only slight growth, the weakest since December, according to S&P Global. Both manufacturing and services sectors experienced slower activity with growth rates hitting three- and five-month lows. Still, most investors anticipate only two rate cuts this year with the first drop in borrowing costs coming in September. Investors are now waiting for US GDP data on Thursday and the Fed's PCE price index report on Friday for additional insights.
