US Dollar Index bias flipped 10 times to neutral on August 11, 2026
The US Dollar Index is firming as Middle East tensions, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, drive safe-haven demand and risk aversion, which supports the greenback against currencies like the euro and Canadian dollar. However, some headlines suggest the recent rally may be pausing, as post-NFP selling pauses and dollar bulls retreat, indicating mixed sentiment about the currency's near-term outlook.
