Dollar Gets Safe-Haven Flows as US-Iran Ceasefire Under Threat
Context
The dollar advanced for a second straight session as escalating fears of a return to full-scale war between the US and Iran prompted investors to seek shelter.
What it means
The threat of a ceasefire breakdown has historically been associated with safe-haven demand for the US dollar, a channel distinct from the oil, gold, and defense moves already flagged in prior signals on this conflict. The dollar's second consecutive gain suggests this flow has momentum, though ceasefire negotiations remain fluid and reversible.
