Dollar near two-month high on US-Iran tensions and Fed bets
Original: Dollar near two-month high as US-Iran stalemate bolsters oil, Fed rate hike bets
The US dollar is trading near its strongest level in two months. A deadlock in US-Iran nuclear talks has pushed up oil prices, adding to inflationary pressure, while traders increasingly expect the Federal Reserve to keep raising interest rates. Higher rate expectations typically strengthen the dollar, and rising energy costs reinforce those bets, keeping the currency firm against major peers.
Why now: Rising US-Iran tensions and hawkish Fed expectations are moving currency and oil markets right now.
