Golden Finance reported that on April 7, Chris Turner of ING said in a report that unless the Middle East conflict reaches a ceasefire, or unless the Tuesday evening deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump for an agreement with Iran is extended, the U.S. dollar should continue to be in demand. He said, “Elevated energy prices are continuing to help the U.S. dollar, and so does what appears to be a strong U.S. economy.” He was referring to the United States’ position as a net oil exporter. He said that if no agreement is reached by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, and Trump then carries out his threat to bomb Iran’s civilian infrastructure, energy prices will face further major increases. The DXY U.S. dollar index was steady at 100.02, and ING expects that before the deadline arrives, the index will remain in the 100.00–100.50 range.
