I thought the value of the U.S. dollar was based upon risk of owning any short or long range bonds.

It's value in relationship to other currency.

A U.S. dollar worth 1/2 the value to an other currency needs to have twice the yield, if risk is equal.

Investors look at the long term expectations of a nation to determine risk.

Our U.S. government sets bond interest rates by controlling the money supply.

Or you could say they control the money supply by setting bond interest rates.
