Cutting rates means the dollar earns less so some money gets moved out of the dollar to other currencies.

At the top in February, there is some sense that the market was disappointed inflation was a bit stubborn and the fed wouldn't cut as much as hoped.

Now there is a possibility of substantial inflation, so a rate cut has become less likely in the short term (say six months).
