US Dollar Index bias flipped 25 times to bullish on August 31, 2026
The US Dollar Index has been driven by hawkish comments from Warsh at Jackson Hole, which sparked expectations of rate hikes and lifted the dollar, though the currency also corrected lower at times. This has put renewed pressure on the euro, yen, and Aussie, with attention now centered on the 100.00 level. The dollar's moves reflect shifting Fed policy expectations, as indicated by the headlines.
