On Thursday, due to Powell's failure to provide any strong clues indicating a possible pause in interest rate cuts in the future, as well as investors taking profits from the "Trump trade," the US dollar index fell from a high and ultimately closed down 0.776% at 104.34, the largest daily increase since March 2020. The US Treasury yield gave up its previous day's gains, with the benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield closing at 4.332%; The two-year US Treasury yield, which is more sensitive to monetary policy, closed at 4.199%.
