US Dollar Index Erases Annual Gains as Middle East Ceasefire Reprices Energy Risk

The US Dollar Index dropped 1.2% on Wednesday, erasing all of its year-to-date gains. The euro, pound sterling, and yen each rose more than 1% against the dollar during trading. The decline was driven by a two-week ceasefire announced between the US and Iran, which caused Brent crude oil futures to plummet 16%. This retreat in energy prices reduced the US dollar's status as a safe-haven asset and prompted leveraged investors to unwind long dollar positions. The drop in oil prices also reignited market expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, with current pricing indicating a 33% probability of one rate cut within the year. The US dollar rebounded 0.6% from its daily low after Iran suspended tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz on the 8th.

This rally followed a two-week halt to attacks on Iran announced by Trump, which was contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran confirmed the waterway would be accessible. The move stabilized global oil supply and alleviated energy price pressures, causing West Texas Intermediate crude to fall more than 16% to $94.41 per barrel.

Bitcoin's rebound reveals institutional shift toward macro pricing

Bitcoin surged over 5% after the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire starting April 8, 2026. The rally was driven by $429 million in short liquidations and $471.3 million in net inflows to US spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday. This institutional capital is shifting Bitcoin's price movement from retail-driven sentiment toward macro pricing. As a result, Bitcoin's price is now highly sensitive to the Federal Reserve's rate cut path. This path is influenced by oil prices, which plummeted over 15% to $91.3 per barrel following the ceasefire. Oil prices will remain under pressure if the ceasefire is extended after the April 10 Islamabad negotiations.

Improved risk sentiment drove the equity gains across global markets.

Higher Oil Prices Push 10-Year Treasury Yields to 4.26%

The 10-year U.S. note yield rose nearly 6 basis points to 4.26% as investors sold bonds in response to inflation measures that exceeded analyst expectations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.6% and the S&P 500 fell 1.4%, marking their lowest levels since November. The Nasdaq Composite lost 1.5%. The VIX Composite spiked nearly 10%. This market slide followed the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged during a policy meeting concluding on March 18. Fed Chair Jerome Powell cited inflation concerns and uncertainty stemming from the war in the Iran as reason for the stability of rates. Brent crude oil closed at $105 a barrel, up nearly 6%, and the nationwide average for a gallon of gas reached $3.86.
