US Dollar Index news for September 23, 2026
The dollar has reclaimed the 100 level as strong US services PMI data and hawkish Fed commentary pushed bond yields higher on expectations of another rate increase and higher-for-longer rates. At the same time, European currencies are being dragged down by politics, while rising yields alongside Brent crude above $100 are weighing on stocks. This matters for the Dollar Index because shifts in US rate expectations and weakness in European currencies directly affect its components.
