The brief
The US dollar has dipped as oil prices fell following a halt in strikes between the US and Iran. This shift comes amid fluctuating currency values, including a new 40-year high for the dollar against the yen and a softer euro after the ECB maintained its current rates.
Coverage from Reuters, Investing.com, and FXStreet emphasizes that the cooling of rate-hike bets is linked to the oil plunge and the current geopolitical pause. Bloomberg.com previously noted dollar jumps driven by haven flows as the Middle East war intensified.
Market attention is now focused on upcoming meetings of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan.
