Dollar index slides 0.80% to 2.5-month low after US Treasury boosts liquidity
The US Treasury's decision to at least double long-dated bond buyback operations to $4B each boosted liquidity and helped push the DXY to a 2.5-month low, outweighing slightly hawkish FOMC minutes. Lower yields and a weaker dollar supported a sharp rally in precious metals, lifting gold to a 2.5-month high. FX moves were notable, with EUR/USD higher and USD/JPY lower.
