The dollar remained on shaky footing ​after broad losses, as investors anxiously assessed whether a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran would hold. The ceasefire ‌deal appeared to be on thin ice, as Israel continued its parallel war against the Iran-aligned militia Hezbollah in Lebanon. At the same time, Tehran accused both Israel and the U.S. of violating the agreement and said that proceeding with peace talks would be “unreasonable.” The Strait of Hormuz also remained shut to vessels sailing without a permit, and shippers said they would not resume transit, sending oil prices higher.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, was flat at 99.07. The euro ​was down 0.01% at $1.1661 while sterling edged 0.01% higher to $1.3393. The yen handed back some of the previous day’s gains following the announcement of the truce in the Middle East conflict, weakening 0.15% against the greenback to 158.81 per dollar.

Among currencies, the U.S. dollar has been the major beneficiary of ​the war, in part because the U.S. is a net energy exporter and therefore less exposed to the economic ​hit that oil ⁠importers like Japan and many European countries might face. The five-week war has shaken investor confidence, triggering the largest disruption to global oil and gas supplies on record.   Advertisement googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1672587060870-0"); }); READ ALSO: Iran Announces Alternative Routes In Hormuz Strait The uneasy truce leaves Iran with greater leverage over shipping through the vital strait than before the conflict.
