A still solid labor market and stubbornly high inflation have lifted Treasury yields in recent weeks and boosted demand for the U.S. currency.
New policies under the incoming Donald Trump administration, including business deregulation, tax cuts, curbs on illegal immigration and tariffs, are also expected to boost growth and add to price pressures.
The dollar index was last down 0.28% on the day at 108.91, after hitting a two-year high of 109.54 on Thursday. It is on track for a weekly gain of 0.85%.
Despite recent dollar gains there remains considerable uncertainty over when policies will be introduced by the new U.S. government, and what their ultimate impact will be. That could pause the dollar rally in the near-term.
