US Dollar Index bias flipped 22 times to neutral on September 29, 2026
The US Dollar Index is holding near two-month and summer highs but traded flat at the start of the US NFP week. The strength has been linked to hawkish Fed signals and Fedspeak lifting expectations for a U.S. rate rise, alongside higher U.S. yields. That backdrop has coincided with pressure on other currencies, with the euro near yearly lows and the British pound around 1.32.
