The dollar index continued its rally, reaching its highest levels in almost two weeks, reacting to scaled-down bets on interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve after stronger-than-expected inflation data.
All eyes are now turned toward the Fed meeting today as traders await hints about the timing and scale of an expected easing cycle this year.

A more restrictive forecast from the Fed governors and a more hawkish speech from Jerome Powell could drive the dollar to new highs as well as boost treasury yields.
