US Dollar (DXY) Index News: Muted Trade Amid Geopolitical Tensions, Lower Yields
==========
The US Dollar is inching lower on Friday against a basket of currencies in a subdued trade, putting the market in a position to finish lower for the week. The move marks a significant reversal from its peak at the start of the week, the highest since November 1. This downward movement is primarily attributed to a dip in Treasury yields. Treasury yields saw a decline following a limited military strike by Israel against Iran, sparking a flight to safety among investors. Recent remarks from Federal Reserve officials suggest a shift in the outlook for US interest rates, with indications that rates might stay higher for longer than previously expected. New York Fed President John Williams emphasized the lack of urgency to cut rates, linking his stance to ongoing economic strength. The Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing survey exceeded expectations, pointing to robustness in the manufacturing sector. Given the Federal Reserve’s inclination to sustain higher interest rates in light of robust economic signals, coupled with a potential rise in safe-haven demand amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, the short-term outlook for the US Dollar is bullish.
