US Dollar Index news for September 22, 2026
The US Dollar Index has reclaimed the 100 level and was trading firmly near 100.35, with headlines linking the move to hawkish Fed commentary and discussion of another Fed increase and a higher-for-longer outlook. Attention is on upcoming Fed speeches alongside weekly ADP figures for further context on policy. The index eased from its July 30 high after Iran offered to reopen Hormuz, though it largely shrugged off those reopening hopes, including against the British Pound.
