DXY Rises 0.30% as 10-Year Treasury Yields Hit 2-Week High

The dollar index (DXY) advanced 0.30% to reach a 1.5-week high, recovering from overnight losses as US Treasury yields surged across the curve. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.43%, marking a 2-week peak and enhancing the dollar's yield advantage against major counterparts. This move reflects growing market expectations for sustained higher US interest rates, widening interest rate differentials in favor of the greenback. The yield surge followed weak demand at today's Treasury auction and concerns about persistent inflation pressures. Major currency pairs showed corresponding weakness, with EUR/USD declining toward 1.0800 and GBP/USD testing support near 1.3550. Traders are positioning for potential further dollar strength if yields continue climbing, with the next resistance for 10-year yields at 4.50%.
