The US dollar will keep rising until the Fed introduces a yield curve control tool, which will be the beginning of a long-term decline. Before Powell's speech, the markets were expecting him to announce something like that, but it looks like the time has not come yet. From this point of view, the important thing is the March 7 meeting, during which the views on the bond market may be voiced, but until then, the Fed will keep the status quo.
