On Tuesday, the greenback surged against a basket of currencies as U.S. President Donald Trump’s permits to handle and use the contingency crude inventories in rejoinder to drone assaults on Saudi Arabian refining buildings. It’s also cooling down the surge in the oil prices.

Besides that, the demand for haven currency pairs has also dropped. I’m pointing to the Japanese yen and Swiss franc. Both of the safe-haven currency reversed back to their pre-strike levels after President Donald Trump permitted to use the emergency crude oil inventories to meet the immediate demand and resist rising oil prices.
