The dollar is heading for its best week in a month as investors return to the traditional haven amid heightened geopolitical tensions. The greenback sits near a three-week high reached Thursday, with demand supported by an escalating Middle East conflict and a fresh round of US tariffs. One-week options positioning turned the most dollar-positive in a month, a sign that traders are paying up for protection ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting. US interest-rate volatility has re-emerged as a key driver of foreign-exchange markets, with the ICE BofA MOVE Index climbing to its highest level since May and on track for its longest streak of gains since November. The yield on 10-year Treasuries touched 4.7117% Friday, the highest since mid-January, and traders now assign a one-in-three probability for a quarter-point Fed rate increase next week.
