The U.S. Dollar value edged higher driven by oil-driven inflationary concerns brought on due to the impasse in U.S.-Iran conflict and reports of a possible fresh military offensive by the U.S. on Iran. In addition, stronger-than-expected April month's consumer price data supported the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. Dollar Index, DXY, which measures the Greenback against a basket of other major currencies was last seen trading at 98.31, up by 0.35 (or 0.36%) today.
