According to Yonhap Infomax, on July 16, the U.S. dollar index rose 0.232% to 100.748, driven by U.S.-Iran tensions and broad-based technology stock selloffs that bolstered demand for safe-haven assets. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1.47%, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plummeted 4.29%. The dollar-yen rate climbed 0.107% to 162.404 yen, though sterling weakened against the dollar following dovish comments from Bank of England officials.
