US Dollar Steady as European Political Risks Influence Currency Markets
The US dollar remained steady in early Asian trading as investor confidence showed modest improvement, supporting higher-yielding currencies like the British pound and Australian dollar. The euro held steady despite political unrest in Europe, including curfews in French cities amid protests and Italy deploying troops after unrest. French government bond spreads over Germany widened amid concerns, while the US 10-year Treasury yield remained flat. Market participants await further developments on the French 2027 budget vote.
