NEW YORK, Oct 21 (Reuters) - The dollar climbed on Monday, buoyed by a rise in U.S. bond yields, as a run of solid U.S. economic data suggested the Federal Reserve can afford to be patient in cutting rates while investors positioned for the Nov. 5 presidential election.
The greenback has risen for three straight weeks and 14 of the past 16 sessions as a run of positive economic data led investors to scale back expectations about the size and speed of rate cuts from the Fed.
