This is because traders get a sense the Fed is done hiking despite the Fed chair leaving the door open for further hikes. The FOMC left rates at 5.25% - 5.50% range where they have been since July. The Dollar Index (DXY) eased to 106.64 from a 1-year high of 107.34 in early October. This morning, the index fell further to 106.45 at the point of writing.
