# Dollar rises as US yields fall with stock losses

> The dollar rose against a basket of currencies as U.S. bond yields rallied on safe-haven demand after a sharp Wall Street selloff, with the Dow at one point down more than 1,500 points. The 10-year Treasury yield touched 2.885%, its highest since January 2014, after a strong jobs report showed wage growth at its biggest annual gain since 2009.

## Why it matters

Higher U.S. yields and a firmer dollar tend to weigh on dollar-denominated grain and meal prices and make U.S. exports less competitive. Analysts expected gains to be limited because other economies were expanding faster.
