British Pound Futures Market News and Commentary
The dollar index (DXY00) on Monday fell by -0.04%.  The dollar was under pressure on Monday as stocks recovered on hopes for a ceasefire in Iran, curbing liquidity demand for the dollar. Axios reported that the US, Iran, and a group of regional mediators are discussing the terms for a potential 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a permanent end to the war. The dollar also fell after the Mar ISM services index fell more than expected.
