Dollar Fluctuates as Oil Prices Fall Amid Iran Truce Hopes Ahead of Fed Meeting
The U.S. dollar showed mixed movements against major currencies amid a pause in U.S. military strikes in Iran, which lowered oil prices and boosted risk appetite ahead of key central bank meetings. Brent crude prices fell sharply after Tehran indicated it would halt attacks if the U.S. maintained the pause. Market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike remain uncertain, with traders assigning roughly a one-in-three chance of a 25 basis point increase at the upcoming Fed meeting. Other central banks are expected to hold rates steady.
