Is the US Dollar set for a rebound?

The Bloomberg US Economic Surprise Index turned positive this week for the first time since February.

The index measures whether economic data comes in above or below consensus estimates.

This comes as Q2 2025 GDP growth, initial jobless claims, and personal spending data all surprised to the upside.

Historically, when the Economic Surprise Index rises and stays positive, the US Dollar tends to strengthen.

Meanwhile, speculative USD short positions by asset managers and leveraged funds have hit their highest level since early 2021.

Is a US Dollar short squeeze imminent?

5/ The reduction in market rates also appears in High Yield. The drop in market rates is showing up in High Yield bonds too. Back in 2022–23, borrowing costs for riskier companies shot above 9%, making refinancing expensive and defaults more likely. Since then, yields have come down steadily. For investors, this is a sign that credit stress is easing and that lower rates are already flowing through to the parts of the market that get hit the hardest.

High yield is an important indicator rate for bitcoin because it sits near the top of the “risk ladder.” At the bottom of that ladder are the safest assets like U.S. Treasuries, then investment-grade corporate bonds, then stocks and high-yield bonds, and finally bitcoin at the very top. Investors climb this ladder only when they feel confident enough to take on more risk.

A substantial lowering of the high-yield rate means investors are willing to invest in assets perceived as riskier. That shift shows risk appetite is alive and money is moving higher up the ladder. The relationship between rates and value is inverse. In simple terms, falling high-yield rates mean the values of risky assets like bitcoin rise.
