US Dollar Index bias flipped 11 times to weak bullish on September 8, 2026
The US Dollar Index is being driven by anticipation of US inflation data, which traders expect to influence the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Recent strong jobs data had boosted rate hike bets and lifted the dollar, but renewed pressure from yen buying and cautious positioning ahead of the inflation release have pulled it back below 99.00.
