Dollar pulls back 💲
The U.S. dollar eased after reaching an 18-month high, as Treasury yields moved lower and expectations for an immediate Fed rate hike cooled.
🔣 That matters because the dollar often reacts not only to inflation data, but also to how markets reassess rate expectations after the first reaction fades.
When yields pull back, some of the support behind the dollar can soften as well. That can give other major currencies room to recover, even if the broader macro picture remains cautious.
The key takeaway is simple: strong inflation initially pushed the dollar higher, but lower yields and softer rate-hike expectations helped it pull back.
⬇️ Yields ease. Fed bets cool. The dollar steps back.
