Dollar Weakens as Oil Prices Plummet Amid Iran Conflict Pause

The US dollar declined against other major currencies on July 27 after the US paused its bombing in Iran, leading to lower oil prices and increased investor confidence ahead of a busy week of central bank meetings.

Oil prices dropped significantly, with Brent crude tumbling 6.5% to $90.45 per barrel, following the US military's temporary halt on strikes against Iran.

The dollar index remained flat at 101.27 ahead of the Federal Reserve's July 28-29 policy meeting, where markets are pricing a one-in-three chance of a 25-basis-point hike, up from a 16% probability a week ago.
