The US dollar reached its strongest level in 19 months as US Treasury yields rose, with the long end leading. The 10-year yield stood at 5.10% and the 30-year at 5.43%, while the euro, sterling, Australian and Canadian dollars lost ground against the greenback.
A firmer dollar and higher yields tighten financial conditions and weigh on commodity-linked and emerging-market currencies, which can pressure dollar-denominated feed commodity prices and import demand from buyers in weaker-currency countries.
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.
