USD: Strengthening against G10 currencies – UOB Group
|The US Dollar showed strength against all G10 currencies following President Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair. This nomination is perceived as a move that may enhance central bank independence and ease concerns over the Dollar's depreciation. The US Dollar index (DXY) ended higher, reflecting this bullish sentiment. UOB Group's analysis indicates a complex interplay of factors influencing the Dollar's performance.
