US Dollar Index bias flipped 19 times to weak bearish on October 9, 2026
The dollar has stayed elevated as hawkish Federal Reserve minutes and expectations around Fed policy kept it supported alongside higher Treasury yields and rising oil prices. It has also at times retreated or stalled as bond yields eased and market mood improved, while Fed officials repeated their stance without putting a date on further hikes, leaving focus on upcoming CPI data and the December meeting.
