Dollar Index erases Monday’s losses and tests 93.50
|The US dollar rose across the board on Tuesday and erased yesterday’s losses. The greenback was boosted by rising US bonds. The 10-year yields rose today to 2.231%, the highest in six days.
Equity prices in Wall Street are having a great performance. The Dow Jones is rising 0.75% and the Nasdaq gains 1.21%. While some analysts point toward better-than-expected US data, released today from the regional Fed banks of Richmond and Philadelphia, as the driver of today’s price action in US markets, others consider that investors increased their expectation about a possible reform of the tax code.
