USD is trading at $90.92, up 3.07% before the September 21, 2026 open, driven by AI investment expectations.

  • The move extends its 4.25% gain on September 18 as Asian technology shares and U.S. futures rise amid positive U.S.-China discussions, including proposed AI dialogue, ahead of Trump-Xi summit.
  • Nasdaq futures are up 0.88%; firm Asian chip markets and major semiconductor shares amplify USD’s leveraged upside in a sector-driven move, not one tied to a single company.
