US Dollar Index bias turned weak bullish on September 13, 2026
Recent US inflation data firmed and Goldman Sachs shifted to back a 25 basis point Fed rate hike, putting the upcoming Fed meeting in focus. Treasury yields spiked and mortgage rates reached 7.12% as investors reassessed the interest-rate path. These developments matter for the US Dollar Index because Fed rate expectations and Treasury yields are central to how the dollar is viewed.
