Dollar Rises on Fed Rate Hike Bets and Soaring Yields

POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — The U.S. dollar is poised for its first two-week consecutive gain in over three months, fueled by rising Treasury yields and increased speculation about further Federal Reserve interest rate increases.
The dollar index climbed more than 1% this week, reaching a two-month high, as long-term U.S. Treasury yields hit 20-year highs following the Fed’s recent tightening measures. This has strengthened the dollar against major rivals like the euro and British pound, which are trading near multi-month lows.
