US dollar bullish bets rose significantly to $32.29 billion from $29.27 billion against the major currencies during the one week period, according to the report of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) covering data up to April 2 and released on Friday April 5. The dollar sentiment improved despite Treasury yield curve inversion – as the spread between three-month and 10-year yields turned negative, considered to be a predictor of economic recession.
