On Tuesday, the evergreen buck went down in Asia due to the fact that American Treasury gains slumped to three-month minimums. That’s an indication that some market participants were wagering the key US bank would speed down the pace of its rate lifts.

The previous week the evergreen buck was pressured because the market took remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell as indicating a slower tempo of rate lifts.
