US Dollar Gains Amid US-Iran Tensions and Fed Rate Hike Expectations; Yen Hits 40-Year Low

Investors await upcoming US jobs data, which could influence Fed policy and currency movements. Meanwhile, crude oil prices rose due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, further supporting the dollar's strength.
