The US dollar strengthened against major currencies on Friday as a selloff in technology shares prompted demand for safer assets. Falling US Treasury yields limited the dollar’s gains, while investors assessed the effects of the US midterm results and awaited US employment data.
A stronger dollar can weigh on dollar-denominated feed commodities, while risk aversion may add currency volatility for importers; no direct commodity-market driver is reported.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
