US Dollar Index bias turned neutral on September 12, 2026
The US Dollar Index initially rose following a higher-than-expected core CPI reading, which increased expectations that the Federal Reserve may tighten monetary policy. The index then retreated from its post-CPI high as market attention turned to the upcoming Fed meeting. The dollar's movement is also being influenced by rising Treasury yields.
