Dollar Strengthens Ahead of Fed Rate Decision Amid Oil Price Surge
The U.S. Dollar Index has gained ground ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. Traders are cautious, expecting the Fed to leave rates unchanged but facing a 33.7% chance of a rate hike.
As traders wait for the announcement, the DXY index rebounded towards the 101.50 level after failing to settle below its support at 101.15-101.30.
The EUR/USD pair is losing ground due to the strong rally in oil markets, with prices up by over 7% following Iran's attack on a U.S. base in Jordan.
