U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said on U.S. Treasuries he will monitor developments and assess whether further action is needed, urged focus on fundamentals and said the Treasury is working to maintain market balance.

Citigroup's FX strategists, led by Daniel Toban, turned short-term bearish on the US dollar, citing markets pricing a more dovish Fed, US midterm election risk and the US Treasury's expansion of repo operations in 10–30yr securities. The team cut its 3-month dollar-index forecast to 98.34 from 102.12. Citi noted Treasury Secretary Bessent's move to expand long‑term Treasury repo as a potential drag on the dollar; the dollar index hit its weakest level since May on Wednesday and traded around 98.9 on Thursday, and the team said downside risks to the dollar have increased after a recent neutral stance.
