The US dollar weakens, bond markets remain stable; investors focus on the Fed's meeting minutes
2026-08-19 19:29:32
According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Reuters, on Wednesday, the US dollar weakened against major currencies as selling pressure in the Treasury market eased. Investors were awaiting the minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting for new guidance. It is expected that the document will fully reflect the thinking of policymakers, especially since Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh has remained silent on interest rate prospects. The euro rose by 0.31% to $1.1611, the pound rose by 0.22% to $1.3562, and the Japanese yen rose by 0.35% to $159.04. The US Dollar Index fell by 0.29% to 99.36. The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds dropped to 4.696%, and the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds fell to 5.283%. Analysts warn that yields are still at high levels and may have an impact on the market. The minutes from the Federal Reserve meeting are scheduled to be released at 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday. The deadlock in the Middle East continues to pose inflation risks, and recent data indicating a slowdown in the US economy have led investors to lower their expectations for interest rate hikes.
