USD/BND is trading close to 7-day lows near 1.2917, holding near its 3-month average and trading within its recent 3-month range. The pair’s recent stability reflects the dominance of the rate differential and risk-off sentiment.

🧭 Key drivers

- Risk/commodities: risk-off sentiment is supporting USD, while commodity prices remain stable.
- Global factors: US stable interest policy and subdued external shocks underpin the current market environment.
⚠️ What could change it

- Downside risk: a deterioration in risk sentiment or a slowdown in US rate hike momentum might weaken USD further.
