Dollar Gains on Risk Aversion and Weak Stocks

The dollar index (DXY00) on Friday rose by +0.20%.  The dollar climbed Friday after a global IT outage prompted risk aversion in asset markets and sparked some safe-haven buying of the dollar. Also, higher T-note yields Friday were bullish for the dollar.  Gains in the dollar accelerated Friday after the S&P 500 dropped to a 2-1/2 week low, which sparked some liquidity demand for the dollar. 

The markets are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 5% for the July 30-31 FOMC meeting and 99% for the following meeting on Sep 17-18.
