Asia FX flat, dollar creeps higher ahead of U.S.-China summit
Market context: DXY: Dollar rising to a two-month high directly reflects U.S. Dollar Index strength. The dollar index is near a two-month high as traders price in firmer Fed rate hike expectations, which supports continued USD appreciation. TLT: A rout in bonds directly impacts long-duration Treasury prices. Long-dated Treasury bonds are selling off as yields climb on firmer Fed rate hike expectations, pressuring TLT lower. SPY: A stronger dollar and rising yields typically weigh on equity valuations broadly. Higher rates and a firmer dollar create headwinds for equities, particularly rate-sensitive sectors in the S&P 500. EUR/USD: A rising dollar implies euro weakness against the USD. The euro is pressured as the dollar strengthens on hawkish Fed repricing.
