Dollar Bouncing as Yields Roll Higher

FOREX
  • The greenback is erasing late Thursday weakness in relatively one-directional trade in G10 this morning. The USD is comfortably the best performer so far Friday, heading into the open higher by 0.5-0.7% against most others.
  • The USD is following the US yield curve's march higher that began in late US trade and persisted throughout both Asia-Pacific and European hours. The Treasury curve is steeper, with 10y yields higher by close to 7bps and well above 1.60%. Moves follow the passage of Biden's $1.9trl stimulus bill late yesterday, with the fiscal expansion pressuring Treasuries and raising speculation that a swifter return to growth will bring sharper inflation pressure into the economic mix.
  • USD strength has pressured EUR/USD back below the $1.19 level, with GBP/USD on track to test $1.39 in the near-term.
  • Focus turns to US PPI & Uni of Michigan data as well as the Canadian jobs report for February.
