Dollar strengthens as US-Iran tensions push oil higher

Original: Dollar firms as US-Iran tensions lift oil, hawkish Fed bets build

The US dollar has firmed against major currencies as escalating tensions between the United States and Iran lifted oil prices and strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates higher for longer. Rising energy costs add to inflation concerns, boosting bets on a hawkish Fed stance and supporting the greenback. Markets are watching closely for further developments in the standoff.

Why now: Geopolitical escalation between the US and Iran is moving oil prices and reshaping expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate policy.
