Dollar Heads for Fourth Straight Week of Gains

The dollar is headed for its fourth straight week of gains, the longest winning streak since May 2025. The WSJ Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, is on pace to extend the advance, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Investors are leaning toward expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will keep policy tighter for longer, helping the currency hold up as other central banks look comparatively less restrictive. With the trend already underway, traders will likely watch incoming inflation and rate-signal updates for any change in interest-rate expectations.
