The US dollar index held steady at 101.07 on Monday, 13 July 2026, after rising as much as 0.2 percent from Friday’s close to its highest level since 8 July, as a renewal of conflict in the Middle East fanned inflation fears and raised the prospect of rate hikes from central banks. The dollar jumped against most of its peers as investors sought safety.<\/p>\n
