Dow Jones18:05

1005 GMT - Short-end U.S. Treasury yields rise, while long-end yields fall in European trade, after the Federal Reserve turned more hawkish Wednesday. The DXY dollar index, meanwhile, rises to an 11-week high of 100.631. The Fed left interest rates on hold, but the statement had a more decisive language on price stability. "However, gains in the dollar could be limited by improving geopolitical sentiment," Exness' Eric Chia says in a note. The U.S. and Iran signed an interim agreement aimed at ending tensions, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and easing restrictions on Iranian oil exports. The two-year Treasury yield rises 3 basis points to 4.188%, while the 10-year yield falls 0.6 basis points to 4.456%, according to Tradeweb. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
