New York: The US dollar today rose as investors turned to safe-haven assets, but the restrained moves suggest markets are monitoring developments in the Middle East following the US reckless airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

According to Oman News Agency, in currency markets, the euro was 0.33% lower at $1.1484, while the Australian dollar, often seen as a risk proxy, hit a one-month low and was last 0.67% weaker at $0.6408. That left the dollar index, which measures the US currency against six other units, 0.12% higher at 99.037.

Sterling was 0.26% lower at $1.3416, while the New Zealand dollar sank 0.68% to $0.5926. The dollar was up 0.52% against the yen at 146.81 after touching a one-month high earlier in the session.
