Dollar index climbs to 101.69, a 13-month high, as rate-hike bets and tech-led stock selloff lift demand
AI Market Summary
The U.S. dollar index hit a 13-month high as a tech-led equity rout increased safe-haven demand and markets repriced materially higher odds of Fed rate hikes (July and September probabilities rising sharply). The resulting policy divergence pressured major peers including EUR, GBP, AUD and especially JPY, which neared multi-decade lows, raising sensitivity to potential Japanese intervention and further FX volatility.

The dollar index (DXY) rose to 101.69 on Wednesday, its highest level in 13 months. Demand was supported by safe-haven buying tied to ongoing selling in U.S. technology stocks. Expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike also strengthened, with CME FedWatch showing the implied odds for July rising to 36% from 9% a week earlier and September above 70%. The euro, pound, Australian dollar and yen weakened, with the yen sliding to 161.69 near its lowest level since 1986.
