Dollar holds steady amid Middle East tensions
The US dollar is beginning to stabilize against most major currencies, as demand for it as a safe haven increases amid rising tensions in the Middle East and ongoing oil price hikes due to fears of supply disruptions. The euro remained steady at 1.122 dollars, but has decreased by nearly 1% since the beginning of the month. Meanwhile, the British pound rose to nearly its highest level in over 16 months, following rising inflation in the UK and supportive data for the Bank of England to raise interest rates. The dollar index also showed stability at 101.76, as investors tend to favor the US currency amid economic conditions and geopolitical volatility. Additionally, oil prices jumped by more than a dollar per barrel amid escalating fears of supply disruptions in the Middle East. Continued political tensions and conflicts have boosted the dollar's status as a safe haven, with expectations that global markets will continue to experience volatility in the coming period.
