Dollar Extends Decline on Hopes for US-Iran Pact, Oil Tumbles
Dollar Extends Decline on US-Iran Deal Optimism, Oil Tumbles
Optimism over a potential US-Iran agreement that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz pushed the dollar lower. Brent crude fell 6% to $97.32.
The safe-haven dollar declined as investor sentiment improved and as the currency often tracks oil prices, with the US being a net oil exporter. The DXY index fell 0.3% to a 10-day low of 98.927.
Caution remains, however, after President Trump said on Truth Social that he was in no rush to strike a deal. Trading volumes were thin due to a US public holiday and holidays across much of Europe.
