U.S. Dollar Index Nears 2026 Highs as Fed Hike Bets Top 70%

The U.S. Dollar Index is retesting its 2026 highs as Treasury yields climb, oil prices stay elevated, and December rate hike bets top 70%.

Overbought momentum on the U.S. Dollar Index has previously aligned with bearish reversals, a watch point for EUR/USD near 2026 lows and for gold.
