The Dollar remains in recovery mode, with the DXY temporarily rebounding from sub-89.500 lows, albeit in somewhat quieter and more measured fashion compared to Wednesday’s frantic price action awaiting confirmation of the Georgia run-off results and certification of Electoral College votes that was derailed by the siege on Capitol Hill before resuming to seal victory for President-in-waiting Biden. For the record, FOMC minutes were largely taken in stride, but upcoming IJC, trade and non-manufacturing ISM releases could be more market moving either side of comments from Fed’s Harker and Evans. Meanwhile, after extending losses on the Blue banner of fiscal and deficit excesses among other bearish factors, the Buck seems to have gleaned a degree of traction from the ongoing ramp up in US Treasury yields as 10 year cash inches further above 1% and the index hovers near the top of a 89.943-294 band.
