The Dollar Index extended gains after Tuesday's hawkish Fed repricing and hotter-than-expected CPI report, with G10 currencies lower across the board. USD/JPY tested 160 on the upside, and the WSJ reported that US Vice President Vance was considering a meeting with Iran's Rezaei, though plans were preliminary.
Broad dollar strength pressures dollar-priced commodities and can reduce import demand from currency-weakened buyers. Geopolitical efforts to end the Iran war also affect the oil and energy costs that feed into agricultural production.
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.
