Comment: The greenback soared the most in a month after Powell’s comments at the Wall Street Journal jobs summit on Thursday. He said the sell-off in Treasuries during the past week was “notable and caught my attention” but was not “disorderly” or likely to push long-term rates so high as to warrant a more forceful Fed intervention. Instead, Powell reiterated the central bank’s commitment to maintaining its ultra-easy monetary policy until the economy is “very far along the road to recovery.”
