U.S. Dollar Index Falls 0.34% on Weaker CPI, Recovers as Middle East Tensions Rise

CL0.64%
According to Yonhap Infomax, the U.S. dollar index declined 0.345 points (0.341%) to 100.934 on July 14 afternoon (U.S. Eastern time), after June consumer prices fell 0.4% against expectations of a 0.1% decline. The dollar initially plunged as U.S. 2-year Treasury yields dropped over 10 basis points, but recovered most losses as geopolitical tensions escalated. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain with missiles and drones, while U.S. Central Command launched additional strikes on Iranian targets in the Persian Gulf. The dollar-yen rate retreated 0.245 yen (0.151%) to 162.208, while WTI crude oil futures rose 1.53% to $79.34 per barrel amid regional uncertainty.
