US dollar index reacts to debt ceiling agreement and monetary tightening speculations
Following an agreement in principle between the White House and the US Congress to raise the debt ceiling on Sunday, the US dollar index reached its highest level in two months. Both President Biden and Representative McCarthy expressed optimism regarding the agreement. However, the index retreated before the opening of the US market as several members of Congress voiced their disagreement with the Biden-McCarthy agreement, creating increased uncertainty.
