The US Dollar Consolidates with a Softer Bias as Oil Steadies

July 09, 2026
With the fog of war still shrouding the near-term outlook, the US dollar is mostly consolidating with a softer bias against the G10 currencies. Outside of the New Zealand dollar that is still basking in yesterday's rate hike, and the Canadian dollar, which is slightly softer, the other G10 currencies are up less than 0.15% ahead of the North A…

Renewed War Roils Markets

July 08, 2026
There is one overreaching development that is driving the capital markets today. War. Hostilities between the US and Iran have intensified.

Dollar Pulls Back Ahead of Employment, Led by Yen's Jump

July 02, 2026
The dollar is trading lower against all of the G10 currencies ahead of the US employment report. The softer ADP private sector estimate seems to have encouraged some paring of long dollar positions ahead of tomorrow’s US holiday. The yen is the strongest, up nearly 0.75% against the greenback.
