EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY: Dollar set for weekly gains on yields, Fed bets
The US dollar is on track for consecutive weekly gains for the first time in over three months, strengthening against the euro and sterling and weighing on EUR/USD and GBP/USD. The source reports no specific price levels, percentage moves or pip figures. The main driver is rising US Treasury yields, which have boosted the dollar's yield appeal. Growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will deliver additional rate hikes are adding further support. The Japanese yen is also weakening, lending support to USD/JPY, as market participants assess the Bank of Japan's recent rate decisions. The source cites no economic data releases and no technical levels. For traders, the dollar's direction currently hinges on Treasury yields and Fed rate expectations. That keeps USD-denominated majors sensitive to shifts in US rate pricing. USD/JPY traders will also be watching for further signals on Bank of Japan policy.
