# Dollar holds firm after Fed raises inflation alarm, yen slips past 160

> The dollar held near a seven-week high after the Fed left rates unchanged but flagged possible future hikes, with three dissenters opposing an easing bias. Two-year and ten-year Treasury yields rose to their highest since March 27, and traders priced a 55% chance of a hike by April 2027.

## Why it matters

Higher US yields and a stronger dollar tend to pressure dollar-denominated commodity prices and can draw funds away from commodity markets, while the yen near 160 raises intervention risk for Japanese feed buyers.
