Currency market volatility is on the rise, driven by increased geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and heightened inflation in the US. The recent attack by Iran on Israel and strong US inflation figures have led traders to speculate that the US dollar will strengthen, anticipating that the Federal Reserve might maintain stringent monetary policies longer than previously expected. This shift marks a significant change from just a month ago, when volatility was at multi-year lows, prompting speculation about a new era of stability in the $7.5 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market.
