The dollar is strengthening under the influence of positive economic signals
“One of the most pronounced reactions to the ISM occurred in U.S. Treasury markets, where yields rose as investors priced in the chance of Fed rate cuts. For example, futures had priced in an 87% chance of another rate cut by the June FOMC (who would be Warsh’s first as chairman if confirmed), but that fell to 70% by the end.”
“Higher yields supported the dollar index (+0.66%), which posted its best two-day gain since last spring.”
