Here is what you need to know for Wednesday, April 1: The US Dollar Index (DXY) fell to near the 100.00 region on Tuesday, holding a weak tone as the US Dollar (USD) lost its safe-haven demand amid growing hopes of a de-escalation of the war in the Middle East. The Wall Street Journal reported that US President Donald Trump told aides he is willing to end the war against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country had the “necessary will” to end the war, but is seeking guarantees that the conflict would not be repeated. Tensions, however, remain high as Iran’s state media reported that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) plans to target United States companies in the region as retaliation for attacks on Iran. Among the 18 companies warned by the IRGC are Microsoft, Apple, Google, Intel, and Boeing. Despite this, stock markets rose sharply on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite posting solid gains.
