U.S. Dollar Near Three-Month Low as Treasury Boosts Bond Buybacks to Stabilize Market
The U.S. dollar declined to near three-month lows as the Treasury Department announced plans to double buybacks of longer-dated bonds to stabilize the bond market after yields hit 19-year highs. Long-term Treasury yields fell following the move, which shifts more borrowing toward short-term bills. Federal Reserve minutes highlighted concerns about inflation and potential rate hikes. The euro rose to its highest level since May, while the Japanese yen eased from recent lows. Investors await further monetary policy signals at the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium.
