NEW YORK, New York - The U.S. dollar demonstrated broad strength in foreign exchange trading on Monday, climbing against a basket of major currencies as shifting interest rate expectations continued to drive market sentiment.
The greenback posted significant gains against the Japanese Yen, with the USD/JPY (USDJPY) pair rising 0.46 percent to reach 155.23, hovering near multi-decade highs. The dollar also advanced strongly against the Swiss Franc, with the USD/CHF (USDCHF) pair increasing by 0.43 percent to 0.7963.
The commodity-linked Canadian Dollar also softened against its U.S. counterpart. The USD/CAD (USDCAD) pair moved higher by 0.26 percent, trading at 1.4054.
The euro was a notable decliner, with the EUR/USD (EURUSD) pair falling 0.28 percent to 1.1588. The British Pound also lost ground, as GBP/USD (GBPUSD) edged down 0.13 percent to 1.3155.
The sell-off was even more pronounced in the antipodean currencies. The Australian Dollar was one of the session's weakest performers, with the AUD/USD (AUDUSD) pair tumbling 0.66 percent to 0.6491. The New Zealand Dollar followed suit, as NZD/USD (NZDUSD) fell 0.42 percent to 0.5654.
Monday's price action created a clear narrative of U.S. dollar dominance, as traders bet on the Federal Reserve maintaining a higher-for-longer interest rate stance compared to other major central banks.
