The dollar lost ground against major currencies including the EUR, GBP, and JPY as its yield advantage weakened, with 10-year Treasury yields settling below 5.10% and 2-year yields declining toward 4.75% on October 15, 2026. This downward pressure occurred despite economic data showing U.S. Retail Sales increased by 0.8% in September, exceeding analyst forecasts of 0.3%.
