US Dollar Index news for July 22, 2026

The US Dollar Index is supported by safe-haven demand amid heightened geopolitical tensions over Iran, as highlighted by US Secretary of State Rubio's comments on Hormuz and a House Republican bill to fund a potential conflict. Additionally, an ING note points to complacency risk as a factor underpinning the dollar.
