Dollar Approaches 18-Month High
The dollar rose to its closest level in 18 months, benefiting from the Federal Reserve meeting minutes that indicated the possibility of ongoing monetary tightening. Meanwhile, the euro declined due to rising oil prices and deteriorating financial conditions in France, with French bond yields increasing to 4.94% and U.S. bond yields rising to 5.35%. It is worth noting that the bond sell-off and the delayed euro recovery reflect a shift in pressure from the strength of the dollar to the weakness of the euro, especially amid escalating financial concerns in France ahead of the presidential elections.
