US short-term Treasury yields up 40bp since the morning of the 10th... ING diagnoses dollar strength

US short-term Treasury yields have climbed roughly 40 basis points since June 10, while the dollar strengthened this week, with ING attributing the move to macroeconomic drivers including inflation concerns and recent Federal Reserve commentary. The dollar index rose as high as 103.043 intraday on June 12 before closing at 102.85. ING framed the greenback's advance as macro-driven rather than idiosyncratic. The combination matters because rising short-end yields alongside a firmer dollar tighten global financial conditions and can pressure risk assets and non-US currencies. Next, markets will watch incoming US inflation data and Fed speakers for signals on the rate path, with the DXY's hold above or retreat from the 103 level in focus.
