The U.S. dollar experienced a decline against major global currencies on Thursday following reports of a potential ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. The deal, which suggests a 60-day memorandum of understanding, aims to extend current peace efforts and initiate further discussions on Iran’s nuclear program.
The agreement is still subject to final approval from President Donald Trump. As the news broke, the euro rose by 0.27%, reaching $1.1655, while the dollar also weakened against the Swiss franc, losing 0.22% to drop to 0.785.
Additionally, the dollar index, which compares the greenback to a basket of six major currencies including the yen and the euro, decreased by 0.29% to stand at 99.02.
