Wall Street Loses Confidence in the Dollar as Haven Demand Decreases
Wall Street is losing confidence in the U.S. dollar as demand for it as a haven asset declines following the US-Iran ceasefire. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.1% after dropping as much as 0.6% intraday, with risk-sensitive currencies like those from Scandinavia, New Zealand, and Australia gaining against the dollar. The S&P 500 Index reached a new record high as investors shifted focus back to riskier assets.
