US 10-year benchmark rate retreated from September highs, currently trading at 3.75%. Rising expectations of a Federal rate cut after the data is weighing down the greenback. Markets are now looking forward to additional economic data this week for further guidance, including the PCE reports, the Feds preferred inflation gauge. The dollar was also pressured by a risk-on sentiment after China unveiled a comprehensive monetary stimulus package to boost growth. Currently, the index is holding at 99.97, down 0.19% on the day.
