The fall of the dollar at the international level comes after a rise of 2% so far this year, an advance that took many investors by surprise who had opted for a further decline after the weakness of the ‘green ticket in 2020.
The exchange rate has been boosted in January by rising U.S. Treasury yields and the caution of some investors about the strength of the global economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
The market has also given importance to the proposal for a US $ 1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus package made by Joe Biden. In this regard, Yellen will tell the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday that the government must “act through the big door” with its next coronavirus aid package.
The dollar index, which measures the currency against a basket of currencies, fell 0.3%, but was still above the two-and-a-half-year low touched earlier this month.
