# Dollar hits 19-month high as hawkish Fed view lifts yields

> The dollar rose to its highest level in about 19 months as Treasury yields climbed after Fed officials signaled concern over stubborn inflation and openness to a possible 50-basis-point hike. Strong US inflation data reinforced those expectations, and the euro fell to its lowest level against the dollar since April 2025. Markets priced in a high chance of a December rate increase.

## Why it matters
