US Dollar Index Surpasses 101 Amid Fed Rate Hike Expectations and Currency Movements
The US Dollar Index rose above the 101 mark for the first time in over a year, driven by expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike following a hawkish Fed meeting. The US 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.48 amid market optimism about a potential US-Iran deal. The euro and British pound weakened against the stronger dollar, with the euro hitting a one-year low and the pound falling below 1.32. The Swiss franc also declined near its weakest level since November 2025, influenced by the stronger dollar and lower oil prices. Markets await the upcoming PCE inflation report for further monetary policy guidance.
