USD Maintains Gains for Third Session in Row

The U.S. Dollar (USD) continued to rise on Monday, for the third consecutive session, opening the week with a positive performance supported by the rise in Treasury bond yields.

Today, the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yield went as high at 1.639% nearing its best level in about 13 months.

The Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the greenback’s performance against a basket of six major international currencies, is up by 0.26% at 91.92, after moving during the Asian and European sessions in a range between 91.54 and 91.97, failing to hit the 92 mark.
