Market Impact: 0.35

Dollar Rises on Houthi Tanker Attack and Higher Oil Prices

Currency & FXInterest Rates & YieldsEnergy Markets & Prices

The dollar index (DXY) rose +0.35% on Thursday, supported by strong US rate differentials as the 10-year Treasury yield climbed +4 bps to a new 1.5-year high. The move coincided with a sharp +6%+ surge in oil prices, which reinforced the inflation/term-premium backdrop driving yields higher. Net: FX remains bid, though this reads as a market-driven reaction rather than a fundamental policy shift.
