The U.S. dollar appreciated against its major counterparts in the Asian session on Tuesday, as U.S. treasury yields rose amid expectations that the Federal Reserve would pursue an aggressive policy tightening to bring inflation under control.

In a speech at the Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability in Frankfurt, Germany, Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller said that he favored 50 basis point hike at every meeting until there is a substantial reduction in inflation.

U.S. treasury yields rose, with the benchmark 10-year yield touching 2.84 percent.
