  • Dollar Index Slides on Yuan Strength, Precious Metals Rally Amid Fed Outlook
    February 3, 2026, 5:44 PM EST. The dollar index fell 0.21% on Tuesday, driven by the Chinese yuan's rise to a 2.5-year high against the dollar. A decline in Treasury note yields weakened the dollar's interest rate advantage, though stock market volatility provided some support for the greenback. Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin's hawkish remarks on inflation and economic outlook offered limited relief. The partial U.S. government shutdown, now in its fourth day, weighed on the dollar but is expected to be brief following a tentative funding deal. Market expectations show only a 9% chance of a 25 basis-point rate cut in March. Meanwhile, the euro rose 0.20% against the dollar amid the dollar's broad weakness, though gains were capped by weaker-than-expected French inflation data, signaling a dovish European Central Bank outlook. Investors anticipate little ECB rate movement in the near term.
