South African Rand Futures Market News and Commentary
The dollar index (DXY00) on Friday fell by -0.15%. Friday’s reports that showed a smaller-than-expected increase in US March consumer prices and a plunge in the University of Michigan’s US Apr consumer sentiment index to a record low weighed on the dollar. Also, hopes that this weekend’s negotiations in Pakistan between the US and Iran will lead to peace are reducing safe-haven demand for the dollar.
The dollar recovered some of its losses Friday when Iran said there must be an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and all Iranian blocked assets must be released “before any negotiations begin.” Also, the New York Post reported that President Trump said that US warships are being reloaded with ammunition to resume strikes on Iran in case peace talks in Pakistan fail.
