The US dollar index steadied near 101.70 on Wednesday after touching a three-week low, caught between fading October hike odds and a near-certain December rate increase.

The dollar index fell 0.25% to 101.71 on Tuesday as traders weighed the US-Iran war against fresh doubts about the AI trade, with sterling, the euro, the yen and the Canadian dollar all gaining.

ING's Chris Turner says a ~20bp flattening of the 2-10y Treasury curve is anchoring the dollar near 18-month highs, even as hot CPI and PPI prints collide with a tech-led Treasury rally.

Hours before September's US CPI print, MUFG argues a hot reading — plus Middle East energy shocks — could push the dollar index to 105, with EUR/USD sliding below 1.10.

ING's FX team says the dollar is stretched across the G10 — overvalued by 1.1% on its own model — but sees no macro trigger yet for the rally to turn.
