Dollar Supported as Yield Differentials and Treasury Demand Remain Firm

The US dollar remained underpinned as interest rate differentials continued to favour the greenback, with resilient US economic data and elevated Treasury yields reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a relatively restrictive policy stance. Market participants continued to favour the dollar against lower-yielding currencies, while the Japanese yen remained under pressure around the closely watched 160 level, keeping intervention risks firmly in focus. Treasury yields stayed elevated across the curve, helping sustain demand for the US currency amid ongoing geopolitical and inflation uncertainties.
Meanwhile, the US Treasury’s latest 30-year bond auction drew solid demand, with bonds sold at a yield of 5.020%, slightly above the 5.008% when-issued level. The result suggests investors remain willing to absorb long-dated US debt despite borrowing costs hovering near multi-decade highs. Notes that firm demand at elevated yields reflects confidence in the attractiveness of US fixed-income returns, while also highlighting the role of higher rates in supporting the dollar relative to its major peers.
