On Monday, the evergreen buck kept diving for a third day in a row versus its counterparts on soaring bets the Federal Reserve will press the pause button on its rate lift cycle in the near months.

The evergreen buck managed to outperform other currencies last year because of the major US bank being the only key financial institution to lift interest rates. If the Federal Reserve holds interest rates this year, market experts see a slim likelihood of further greenback appreciation. This year, financial markets expect no more rate lifts from the major US bank.
