[Reuters] – The U.S. dollar index hit a two-month high and U.S. bond prices fell on Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said a U.S. interest rate hike will likely be appropriate in the coming months. Although they briefly trimmed gains on Yellen’s remarks, U.S. stocks ended higher and the S&P 500 capped off its strongest week since March. MSCI’s all-country world stock index had its best weekly performance since mid-April.
