The dollar index (DXY00) on Tuesday rose by +0.07%. The dollar moved higher amid month- and quarter-end demand, with Tuesday being the last trading day of Q2. Also, Tuesday’s decline in the yen to a 39-year low is dollar-supportive. In addition, higher T-note yields on Tuesday strengthened the dollar’s interest rate differentials. Tuesday’s US economic news was mixed for the dollar, with the May JOLTS job openings unexpectedly rising to a 2-year high, but the June Conference Board consumer confidence index rising less than expected.
The US Apr S&P Cotality composite-20 home price index rose +1.14% y/y, stronger than expectations of +0.90% y/y.
