Lee Hardman, a senior currency analyst at MUFG, suggests that the recent conflicts in the Middle East, triggered by unexpected attacks from Hamas on Israel, are likely to favor the U.S. dollar in the short run. However, he notes that for a more significant impact on currency markets, there would need to be a more substantial escalation of tensions. Hardman believes that the current developments support the U.S. dollar in the near-term, but a greater influence on the foreign exchange market would require further escalation of the conflict. As of now, the dollar has strengthened, with the DXY index showing a 0.2% increase at 106.47.
