US Dollar hits 17-month high amid surging Treasury yields
The US Dollar has reached its highest level in 17 months, marking its third consecutive weekly gain. The Dollar Index rose to 102.08 points, driven by a global bond market sell-off and rising inflation concerns linked to increasing oil prices.
This bond market volatility pushed 10-year US Treasury yields to 5.344%, the highest level since 2002. Investors are closely monitoring upcoming US employment data to gauge future Federal Reserve monetary policy.
The Euro has faced significant pressure, falling toward 1.1237 dollars, its lowest level since May 2025, due to fiscal concerns in France. Meanwhile, the Japanese Yen remained stable at 158 per dollar following data showing accelerated core inflation in Tokyo.
