The British Pound has emerged as a preferred currency, while the US Dollar continues to weaken. The greenback is no longer finding support from oil prices, as Brent crude trades near monthly highs despite a falling USD Index.
Investors are showing little appetite for the dollar as a safe-haven asset due to ongoing escalation in the Middle East. This shift in sentiment has helped the Pound gain ground against the greenback.
