What happened
The US dollar rallied to its highest level in nearly two months on Wednesday, driven by expectations of a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike. This rise occurred while oil prices jumped after Iran cast doubt on progress in peace talks. The Federal Reserve had raised its rate by 25 basis points the previous week, bringing the target range to 3.75%-4.00%.
