reuters.com/markets/currencies/yen-feels-heat-us-treasury-yields-climb-2024-04-09/
Quick Glance: Dollar Stagnates Despite Rising US Treasury Yields
- The dollar displayed hesitation on Tuesday as it did not receive significant support from the increase in U.S. Treasury yields, maintaining pressure on the yen near multi-decade lows and keeping traders vigilant for potential interventions.
- The greenback rose by 0.03% to 151.87 yen, near a 34-year high of 151.975 yen from the previous month, while Japanese officials intensified efforts to defend the currency.
- Despite the uptick in U.S. Treasury yields, the dollar failed to garner substantial backing as traders reevaluate their outlook on the pace and extent of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts anticipated in the latter part of this year.
- The robustness observed in commodity prices appears indicative of - one could almost label it as - a global reflation trade. In other developments, the Aussie declined by 0.01% to $0.6604, and the Chinese yuan was positioned at 7.2437 per dollar in the offshore market.
