Climbing Treasury yields underpin a robust bid within the US greenback

It’s a strong start of the US dollar today and it has picked up further along with New York trade.

The catalyst is the bond market with Treasury yields up 6-10 bps across the curve. Tens are up 9.6 bps to 4.44%, which is the highest since June 11.

USD/JPY has tracked that, rising 51 pips to a fresh 34-year high at 161.65.
