US Dollar Index bias flipped 23 times to neutral on October 5, 2026
The US Dollar Index has climbed to around 102.30, described as an 18-month high, rising 0.4% as the euro fell to a 17-month low. The move is linked to safe-haven flows amid geopolitical risks, firm Fed pricing around Fedspeak, and pressure on the euro from European PMIs and fiscal concerns.
