> The dollar strengthened on a more hawkish Federal Reserve, which said it would begin unwinding its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases as soon as November and could raise rates in 2022. Ten-year US inflation-protected yields rose about 37 basis points since early August, versus 5 basis points in Germany.
