[Barclays: Middle East Conflict Has Not Eliminated Dollar Risk Premium] According to a report by Jinse Finance, citing Jin10, analysts at Barclays Bank pointed out in a report that although the Middle East conflict has driven up energy prices and supported the U.S. dollar exchange rate, the dollar's risk premium has not decreased. The market still demands a higher premium on dollar assets to compensate for the increased uncertainty in U.S. policies. Analysts stated that it is reasonable to expect the dollar to experience some degree of weakening in the short term.
