Why the dollar has lost ground?

Since the start of the pandemic by the coronavirus, the united States has been one of the countries that minor measures taken to control infections and to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
To date, there is 3.7 M of confirmed cases in the u.s. territory.
On Thursday, there were more than 60,000 new cases of COVID-19 throughout the united States, the largest count of a single day by any country in the global pandemic until the time, which discourages some u.s. consumers to return to public spaces.

The japanese data showed that the PPI rose 0.6% in June after falling 0.5% in the previous month. The prices have decreased by 1.6% year-on-year.
Which is understandable because there was no pandemic in 2019. These figures arrived a few days before the Bank of Japan published its decision on the interest rate.
The data on PPI in the united States remained in the negative figure of -0.8%, not meeting forecasts of analysts, and generating even more uncertainty for investors because, every time it seems that the american currency is about an environment not favorable for investment.
“Concerns about the growth stalks the markets, boosting safe bets such as the japanese yen and gold.”
