Rising US yields and geopolitical risks fuel dollar inflows
According to Economictimes Indiatimes, the US dollar has seen renewed strength against major international currencies, driven by rising US Treasury yields and uncertainties related to a possible peace deal with Iran. Higher yields tend to draw capital inflows into US assets, bolstering the greenback's appeal as a safe haven in times of heightened geopolitical risk. These developments have created a supportive backdrop for the dollar's role in global markets and continue to impact USD/HUF trading dynamics.

Further declines likely as volatility range tightens

The likelihood of further decline is high, estimated at 76%.
