ICE Dollar Index Falls 0.44% to 102.097, Off Seven-Month High

A single-session pullback from a seven-month high is less a trend signal than a positioning check: the dollar had just been bid on CPI, and the reversal suggests the inflation print was already priced. For crypto and dollar-denominated RWA markets, a softer dollar is generally a mild tailwind, but one day of rangebound trading does little to confirm a turn. Whether the index holds above the prior breakout zone, or the CPI-driven move fully unwinds, is the open question worth tracking.
