US Dollar Index news for September 28, 2026
The US Dollar Index traded flat at the start of the NFP week amid data-driven consolidation. Activity is linked to a hawkish Federal Reserve stance and rate hike bets, alongside surging oil prices and ongoing Middle East tensions as hopes for a US-Iran deal faded. That backdrop coincided with the euro moving below 1.14, weakness in the Swiss franc, mixed moves against the British pound, and a renewed sell-off in gold around $4,200.
