Action Forex reports the US dollar has resumed an upward trend alongside oil prices and rising Treasury bond yields, with capital moving from secondary to primary markets as US Treasury auctions attract demand.

The outlet links euro weakness to pressure from France’s debt outlook and to heightened political rhetoric, including calls from Marine Le Pen for ECB rate cuts and for reductions in EU transfers.

According to Action Forex, scheduled French bond redemptions are expected to increase from 60.2 billion euros in 2027 to 187.4 billion euros, and then to 283.7 billion euros by 2029, raising pressure on Paris to issue more bonds.

Action Forex also says the combination of falling bond prices and a weaker EURUSD exchange rate has left foreign bondholders facing losses, a dynamic it describes as intensifying since the second half of August.
