On Monday, the U.S. Dollar Index rebounded, approaching 103 at its highest, before closing up 0.108% at 102.85, due to the resilience of the U.S. economy and the market's belief that the fall in the Dollar Index was "too much." U.S. Treasury yields rose, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield closing at 4.0982% and the 2-year Treasury yield, most sensitive to Fed policy rates, at 4.5381%.
The US dollar's trend shifted, Gold stays robust from rate cuts, and traders prep for US CPI.
The U.S. financial markets remained relatively calm in anticipation of the forthcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading, slated for release later today. This inflation data is seen as a critical determinant for market speculation on the timing of potential monetary policy moves by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
