US Dollar Index bias flipped 18 times to neutral on September 3, 2026
The U.S. dollar index is declining after dovish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Waller lifted risk sentiment, with stocks and bonds rallying. The currency is also being pressured by suspected yen intervention, as noted in one report. Market attention now turns to the upcoming non-farm payrolls data, which could drive further moves in the dollar.
