A higher interest rate normally acts as support for the US currency, as it makes dollar assets more tempting for profit-seeking traders. This week, the revenue of 10-year American government bonds surpassed 3% for the first time since 2014. That’s an indication of investor confidence in the good future of the American economy.
The evergreen buck dived against the Japanese yen. The currency pair USD/JPY sank 0.11% being worth 109.31 after it managed to renew a maximum of two and a half months of 109.46 during night trades.
The common currency remained stable against the evergreen buck. The currency pair EUR/USD was trading at 1.2167, a bit retreating from a 2-month minimum of 1.2158, recorded on Wednesday.
