Dollar Falls with Bond Yields on Favorable US Producer Prices

The dollar index (DXY) fell to a 3.5-week low and closed down 0.46% after US June producer prices rose less than expected, pulling Treasury yields lower. The softer inflation prints also reduced perceived odds of more hawkish Fed policy, reinforcing the dovish repricing. With CPI described as benign, FX and rate-sensitive assets likely saw incremental support from the updated inflation outlook.
