USD opened higher on Monday
US Treasury Secretary Bessent's comment not comforting
USD opened higher on Monday across majors as US Treasury Secretary Bessent has left concerning remarks over the weekend. He says that he can't guarantee there will be no recession for the U.S. and welcomes the drop in stock market.
These remarks have driven the USD higher given its risk adverse nature and see USD/JPY 0.17% higher at 148.87.
