Dollar Strengthens as Oil Prices Climb, Fed Rate Hike Odds Soar to 92%
The US dollar has reached a one-month high against the euro due to rising oil prices and surging U.S. Treasury yields, fueling expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike this week.
Benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields have climbed steeply, reinforcing the likelihood of an interest rate increase, with markets pricing in a 92% chance according to CME's FedWatch tool.
