Dollar Eases as S&P 500 Posts a Record High

The dollar index (DXY00) fell 0.07% as a rally in the S&P 500 to a new all-time high reduced liquidity demand for the dollar. Easing geopolitical tensions also pressured the greenback after AP reported progress between the US and Iran. The move is modest and appears to reflect improved risk appetite rather than a major macro shift.
