US Dollar Index bias flipped 25 times to neutral on September 2, 2026
The US Dollar Index is being underpinned by a hawkish Federal Reserve stance, with officials signaling possible rate hikes if inflation remains elevated, which has lifted Treasury yields to multi-year highs. Additionally, escalating US-Iran tensions are contributing to dollar strength as investors seek the safe-haven currency. These factors have pushed the index to new highs against most major currencies, with gains holding above 99.50.
