  • Dollar Rises as Iran Conflict Sparks Safe-Haven Demand, Inflation Fears
    March 27, 2026, 12:31 PM EDT. The dollar index reached a one-week high amid escalating Iran-Israel tensions, fueling safe-haven demand. Missile exchanges and strikes on Gulf states intensified conflict concerns on day 27 of the war. Concurrently, a 3% rally in crude oil prices heightened inflation expectations, pressuring the Federal Reserve to maintain restrictive policy, a boost for the dollar. The University of Michigan revised U.S. consumer sentiment lower while raising 1-year inflation expectations to 3.8%, adding complexity. Despite these forces, rate differentials challenge the dollar, with markets pricing a Fed rate cut in 2026 versus ECB and BOJ hikes. The euro gained slightly after hawkish ECB comments, though easing inflation forecasts and higher oil prices weighed on the eurozone economy. The uncertainty keeps markets closely watching central bank moves amid geopolitical risks.
