March 03, 2026
If this is World War 3, the world wants dollars. The greenback is broadly higher but hardly anything else is. Other safe haven, like gold, the Swiss franc, and US Treasuries are lower. Equity markets have been sold off and the rally in oil is taking a toll on bond markets. The Middle East war is the only fundamental that matters now. And the fog o…

Dollar Jumps on War, but Treasuries are No Safe Haven

Yen Slides on a Double Whammy

February 24, 2026
The US dollar is mostly slightly firmer against the most of the G10 currencies but largely confined to its recent ranges. The yen is the notable exception.
