The dollar index (DXY00) on Tuesday rose by +0.70%. The dollar on Tuesday recovered from a 1-month low and posted moderate gains after stronger-than-expected U.S. manufacturing news pushed T-note yields higher. Also, weakness in EUR/USD supported the dollar on dovish comments from ECB President Lagarde and weaker-than-expected Eurozone economic news.
Tuesday’s U.S. economic news supported the dollar after the Oct S&P U.S. manufacturing PMI unexpectedly rose +0.2 to a 6-month high of 50.0, stronger than expectations of a decline to 49.5.
