# FX: Dollar bounce underwhelms | articles | ING THINK

> The dollar gained only about 1% against the euro year-to-date despite a sharp rise in U.S. bond yields and a stronger U.S. vaccine rollout. Commodity currencies were still up 1-2% against the dollar since the start of the year. The analysis expected the euro to benefit as a cyclical currency if the global recovery synchronized in the second quarter.

## Why it matters
