  • Dollar Strengthens on Rising Oil Prices and Middle East Tensions, Stocks Weaken
    April 23, 2026, 5:57 PM EDT. The U.S. dollar index climbed to a 1.5-week high, supported by Middle East tensions and a surge in crude oil prices. Rising oil prices lift inflation expectations, bolstering expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve. The U.S. manufacturing sector expanded at its fastest in nearly four years, reinforcing the dollar's strength. However, weaker-than-expected U.S. jobless claims and a decline in the Chicago Fed National Activity Index tempered gains. Meanwhile, EUR/USD fell due to the dollar's strength and negative Eurozone cues from a contracting service sector amid rising energy costs. The eurozone's manufacturing sector showed unexpected growth. Market expectations for rate hikes remain low, with just a 1% chance of Fed hikes next week and 9% for the ECB later this month. USD/JPY edged up slightly amid these movements.
