[ING: If the Iran war keeps oil prices elevated, the dollar may continue to gain support] According to a report by Golden Finance on April 7, Chris Turner of ING stated in a report that unless the Middle East conflict reaches a ceasefire or U.S. President Trump significantly delays the Tuesday evening deadline he set for reaching an agreement with Iran, the dollar is expected to remain in demand. He said: 'Elevated energy prices are continuing to support the dollar, as is the seemingly strong U.S. economy.' He referred to the U.S.'s position as a net oil exporter. He added that if no agreement is reached by 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time and Trump follows through on his threat to bomb Iran's civilian infrastructure, energy prices could face a further significant surge. The DXY Dollar Index remains steady at 100.02, and ING expects the index to stay within the 100.00-100.50 range ahead of the deadline.
