Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
The US dollar index has firmed around 1.0% over four straight sessions, helped by hawkish Fed repricing that lifted 2-year yields nearly 30bps and pushed the 10-year above 5.0%, the highest since mid-2007. Equity volatility remains low and FX spillovers modest, but high-beta commodity and EM currencies have lagged since 9 September. Sterling outperforms despite weak UK labour data; MUFG sees the BoE on hold this week with guidance edging toward a November hike.

- Time horizon
- September 2026 · this year · 2001
Key arguments
- Hawkish Fed repricing is the main driver: the rate market now prices almost 100bps of hikes over the year ahead, fully reversing last year's 75bps of cuts.
- Long-end yields above 5.0% are building investor concern over risk-asset correction, though global equities and volatility measures show only limited stress so far.
- Currency price action since 9 September is consistent with risk-off: NZD, AUD, SEK and high-yielding EM currencies (CLP, ZAR, HUF, MXN) have underperformed.
- GBP is the second-best G10 performer since 9 September on high UK yields, but private-sector job losses of -26k and 2.9% pay growth keep the labour market weak.
Key numbers
- Dollar index rise over four sessions
- ~1.0%
- 2-year US Treasury yield rise since 8 September
- almost 30bps
- 10-year US Treasury yield (highest since mid-2007)
- above 5.0%
- Fed hikes priced over year ahead
- almost 100bps
- UK private sector job losses in August
- -26k
Main risks
- A deeper risk-asset correction into year-end would intensify downside for high-beta commodity and EM currencies.
- Volatility is picking up from year-to-date lows, which could accelerate the shift to risk-off FX trading.
- UK labour market weakness (August job losses, 2.9% pay growth) could undermine sterling even as yields stay high.
