美元指数周二升至106点以上，重新逼近本月早些时候触及的五个月高点106.3点，因为最新的经济数据继续支持美联储的限制性政策。第一季度，美国的就业成本上涨了1.2%，为一年来的最高水平，远高于1%的预期，这突显了持续的工资压力，这可能会放大顽固通货膨胀对美国经济的影响。这一结果增加了一批数据，加强了联邦公开市场委员会更长时间保持更高利率的论点。美元指数也受到新一轮日元抛售的支持，因为市场怀疑日本央行的外汇干预是否能长期支撑美元。

The dollar index rose above the 106 mark on Tuesday, reapproaching the five-month high of 106.3 touched earlier in the month, as the newest economic releases continued to favor a backdrop of restrictive policy by the Federal Reserve. Employment costs in the US rose by 1.2% during the first quarter, the most in one year and firmly above expectations of 1% to underscore persistent wage pressures that can magnify the impact of stubborn inflation in the US economy. The result added to a batch of data that strengthens the argument for the FOMC to hold rates higher for longer. The dollar index also received support from fresh yen selling as markets doubted if the foreign exchange intervention by the BoJ could support the currency in the longer term.
