US Dollar Index news for September 24, 2026
The US Dollar Index has extended its winning streak as strong US services PMI data, soaring bond yields and growing expectations for another Fed interest rate increase have put focus on the dollar. Fed speakers lining up behind hikes and upcoming weekly jobless claims data, alongside oil chokepoint risk and China trade uncertainty, have added to attention on the currency. Political pressures dragging on European currencies and a four-day slide in the British pound linked to higher US yields have also factored into dollar moves.
