The U.S. dollar is experiencing its biggest rally in over a year, marked by its strongest 5-day performance since February 2023, with the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rising approximately 2% over the last five trading days, and the U.S. dollar index increasing about 5% year-to-date. This surge is attributed to expectations that U.S. interest rates will remain elevated for an extended period, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and a robust U.S. economy.

Interest rate cuts have been pushed back, further supporting the dollar's strength.
