The US dollar has erased all gains since the outbreak of the US-Iran war. Previously, Tehran announced that the Strait of Hormuz has been "completely open to commercial shipping," further weakening demand for safe-haven assets. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell by 0.5% to its lowest level since February 27, continuing its decline as investors shift their focus to the possibility of a ceasefire and reaching a more comprehensive agreement. On Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that commercial vessels can pass through this key waterway during the remaining ceasefire period.
