World market developments

The US Dollar Index (DXY) measuring the greenback's movements against six major currencies (EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF) decreased by 0.12% to 98.78.

The US dollar rose slightly as the risk of widespread conflict in the Middle East continued to weigh on the market.

Meanwhile, a series of interest rate decisions from European central banks showed the growing challenge of managing policy amid rising uncertainty.

The rapidly escalating geopolitical situation has supported the greenback, helping it regain its “safe haven” role - a position that has recently been strengthened.

Iran and Israel continue to carry out air strikes back and forth, marking the seventh day of the conflict.

Concerns about possible US involvement are growing as President Donald Trump keeps the world waiting to see whether Washington will join Israel in a bombing campaign against Iran's nuclear facilities.

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) kept interest rates unchanged. The Bank of England (BoE) also kept rates unchanged, citing rising global uncertainty and persistent inflation as key factors weighing on the economic outlook.

The pound initially fell following the decision, but has since recovered most of its losses.

The euro fell 0.1% to $1.1473. The dollar rose 0.2% against the Japanese yen to 145.56 JPY/USD.

Francesco Pesole, a foreign exchange strategist at ING bank, said that geopolitical risks and high oil prices are not caused by the US, unlike internal risks such as Mr. Trump's tax cut plan or tariff policy that have previously put pressure on the USD.

Therefore, the greenback could once again maintain its safe-haven status.

“Compared to energy-dependent safe-havens like the euro, the dollar is still in a more favorable position in the current context,” said Francesco Pesole.
