The US dollar index breaks through the 101 mark, and the focus turns to US inflation
Wonderful introduction:
Walk out of the thorns, there is a bright road covered with flowers; when you reach the top of the mountain, you will see the cloudy mountain scenery like green clouds. In this world, a star falls and cannot dim the starry sky, a flower withers and cannot desolate the whole spring.
Hello everyone, today XM Foreign Exchange will bring you "[XM Foreign Exchange]: The US dollar index breaks through the 101 mark, and the focus turns to the US inflation figure." Hope it will be helpful to you! The original content is as follows:

On Monday, the US dollar index once approached 102 and finally closed up 1.37% to 101.80 as China and the United States reached a tariff reduction agreement, alleviating market concerns about the US recession. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at 4.4740%; the two-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at 4.0350%. Affected by the news of the Sino-US economic and trade talks, spot gold fell below $3,210/ounce for a time, and finally closed down 2.73% to $3,235.58/ounce. Spot silver finally closed down 0.43% at $32.58 per ounce.

Analysis of major currencies
Dollar Index: As of press time, the US dollar index hovers around 101.65. News of tariff cuts triggered a chain reaction in the market, with the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond soaring to 4.45%, approaching a high that has not been seen since early April. The widening of interest rate spread between the United States and other countries has caused the US dollar to appreciate relative to currencies in countries with lower yields. Some analysts believe that the chain effect of this correlation may lead to the market xmmarkets.cnpletely canceling expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut in 2025. Technically, the U.S. dollar index is trying to close above resistance levels 101.40–101.60. If this attempt is successful, the U.S. dollar index will move to the next resistance level, which is at 103.30–103.50 range.
