Dollar funding costs in currency derivatives rose to their highest in nearly a year on Monday. Three-month euro-dollar cross-currency basis swaps widened to around minus 27 basis points, the widest since December 2020.
The move reflects a year-end dollar funding rush and the euro's steady decline against the greenback.
