On Monday, the U.S. dollar maintained its position after experiencing a weekly decline as markets awaited outcomes from peace negotiations in the Middle East and insights on potential central bank rate hikes. The dollar index held steady at 99.00, following a 0.4% drop last week, while the euro decreased to $1.165, the yen to 159.41, and sterling to $1.3449. The focus is on the upcoming U.S. jobs data, which is projected to reveal an unemployment rate of 4.3% and an addition of 85,000 jobs. Meanwhile, a proposed deal to extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire by 60 days could facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil shipments. The European Central Bank is anticipated to raise interest rates this month, irrespective of the U.S.-Iran discussions. Additionally, the Bank of Japan's upcoming announcements are being closely monitored for indications of future monetary policy adjustments.
