The dollar index (DXY00) today is up by +0.24%. Hawkish comments today from Fed Governor Bowman boosted the dollar when she said she sees a number of upside risks to the inflation outlook, and "we are still not yet at the point where it is appropriate to lower the policy rate." Also, stronger-than-expected US home price and consumer confidence reports were hawkish for Fed policy and bullish for the dollar.
The Conference Board US June consumer confidence index fell -0.9 to 100.4, slightly stronger than expectations of 100.0.
