Hedge Fund Dollar Bets Rebound, Shift Out of Energy in Week Ending Sept. 22
In the week ending September 22, hedge funds and other speculators increased their bullish positions on the U.S. dollar as rising Treasury yields and expectations for tighter Federal Reserve policy boosted the Dollar Index by about 1%. This marked an end to a seven-week decline in the index from its record high. The shift reflects growing confidence in the strength of the greenback amid tightening monetary conditions, with investors adjusting their portfolios away from energy markets into dollar assets. The move highlights renewed optimism around U.S. interest rates and economic resilience.
