This has renewed fears of a Middle East war resumption, a scenario that will boost oil prices again and strengthen the US Dollar.
The US Dollar outperformed in wartime as higher oil prices prompted global inflationary pressures, which forced traders to price out dovish Federal Reserve (Fed) bets.
On the domestic front, investors await the US ADP Employment Change and the ISM Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data for May, which will be published during the North American session.
Meanwhile, the US JOLTS Job Openings data for April came in stronger-than-expected on Tuesday. The data showed that US employers posted 7.618 million fresh jobs, significantly higher than 6.88 million estimates.
