Currrency Markets Yield To Dollar Demand
G-10 and EM currencies yield to dollar demand The recent rise in US yields is responsible for crystallising USD strength, and this appears to have been accentuated by comparatively strong data flow in the US. But next week's US Trade Roadshow to China, which includes the President's "champions of trade" Steven Mnuchin, Robert Lighthizer and Larry Kudlow, has undoubtedly calmed investors nerves and triggered an unwind of USD risk premiums around tariff and trade.
