Dollar steady near two-month high as US-Iran stalemate lifts oil
Original: Dollar steadies near two-month high as US-Iran stalemate lifts oil, Fed rate hike bets build
The US dollar held near a two-month high as the standoff between Washington and Tehran pushed oil prices higher and investors increased bets that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates. Traders are weighing geopolitical risk in the Middle East against expectations of tighter US monetary policy, both of which are supporting the greenback against major currencies.
Why now: The combination of geopolitical tension over Iran, rising oil prices and shifting Fed rate expectations is moving currency and energy markets.
