Dollar Hits 19-Month High as Rate-Hike Bets Build Globally
CNBC, Bloomberg, WSJ and Reuters report a stronger dollar, a haven rally in the Swiss franc, and inflation pressure in Turkey and India.
What happened
CNBC reports that the dollar rose to a 19-month high as bets on a Federal Reserve rate hike grew, while the yen softened. Bloomberg says a carry-trade squeeze is adding fuel to a rally in the Swiss franc as a haven currency.
The WSJ reports that the euro could extend its recent losses against the dollar. Bloomberg adds that Turkey raised its inflation forecasts, pointing to the effects of war and a rout in funds.
In India, Reuters and Bloomberg report that October inflation accelerated and rose above the Reserve Bank of India's 6% limit. Both outlets say this keeps pressure on the central bank to raise rates.
Context
Carry trades involve borrowing in a low-yielding currency to invest in a higher-yielding one, and they can reverse quickly when markets turn cautious.
Why it matters
Shifts in currencies and central bank rate expectations can affect borrowing costs, capital flows and the earnings of companies with international exposure.
