US Dollar Index news for August 27, 2026

The US Dollar Index edged higher as a slightly hotter-than-expected core PCE inflation reading kept the possibility of a September Federal Reserve rate hike on the table, ahead of the Jackson Hole symposium. Steady GDP data reinforced the case for tight policy, supporting the dollar. Meanwhile, reports of de-dollarization trends and a higher gold target from UBS highlight longer-term headwinds, but near-term price action is being driven by inflation and Fed expectations.
