FX.co ★ US dollar is steadily rising amid US government bond's annual records

On Monday, the trading data proved that the US dollar is rising relative to the increase in the yield of US Treasury bonds.

In this case, the euro-to-dollar ratio declined to $ 1.2103 per euro from the previous close of $ 1.2117. On the other hand, the dollar-yen exchange rate rose to 105.78 yen per dollar from the previous level of 105.43 yen. The dollar index (the dollar's exchange rate against a basket of currencies of the United States' six major trading partners) increased by 0.15%, that is, to 90.5 points respectively.

The yield on US government bonds is updating its annual records today. During the day, the indicator reached 1.394%, which became the highest since February 2020. There is no doubt that the current situation supports the dollar rate and at the same time, reduces the attractiveness of risky assets.

However, experts are greatly worried about the growth of the yield on US government bonds, which may destabilize risky assets anytime soon if the growth continues.

On another note, market participants are expecting European Central Bank's Chairman, Christine Lagarde, to make a speech in the late afternoon today. Investors are scared to hear alarming remarks about the regulator's continued monetary policy, which places enormous pressure on the euro.
