The rise in U.S. yields supported the dollar, causing low-yielding currencies like the Japanese yen to struggle, dropping to its lowest level since 1986. The increase in Treasury yields was attributed to expectations of Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidency, which led to higher tariffs and government borrowing. The yen continued to weaken, reaching 38-year lows against the dollar due to the significant interest rate gap between the U.S. and Japan. Chinese yuan faced similar pressure with U.S. 10-year yields exceeding Chinese government bond yields.
