Why is USD rising?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
The US dollar strengthens due to several interconnected factors. When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it attracts foreign investment seeking higher returns, increasing demand for dollars. Strong US economic performance, including robust GDP growth and low unemployment, boosts investor confidence. Global uncertainty often triggers a "flight to safety," with investors moving capital into dollar-denominated assets. Additionally, widening interest rate differentials between the US and other countries, reduced inflation expectations, and strong corporate earnings all contribute to dollar appreciation against other currencies including the Indian Rupee.
