The Dollar Index increased by 0.66%, marking its best two-day performance since last spring.

Dollar strengthens on positive economic signals

"One of the clearest reactions to the ISM was in US Treasury markets, with yields moving higher as investors priced out the chance of Fed rate cuts. For instance, futures had been pricing in an 87% chance of another rate cut by the June FOMC (which would be Warsh’s first as Chair if confirmed), but that was down to 70% by the close."

"Higher yields supported the dollar index (+0.66%), which has had its best two-day run since last spring."
