The American dollar advanced on Tuesday amid prevalent risk aversion. US government bond yields soared to support the dollar\u2019s performance all day long, as the 2-year Treasury yield touched its highest in fifteen years ahead of the Fed\u2019s policy decision.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is now at 3.56% after hitting 3.604%, while the 2-year yield peaked at 3.992%, now hovering at around 3.96%.

Traders and investors are worried because if the Fed hikes rates by more than 75 bps given stubbornly high inflation, the impact of the move could extend to almost all assets.
