Aluminum supply disruptions coupled with energy shocks and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut boosted the US dollar.
US dollar has resumed its rise triggered by the Middle East conflict, with inflation concerns intensifying market worries that US interest rates will remain high for a longer period. Due to fuel supply disruptions and shipping route closures, gas-powered aluminum plants in the Middle East have suspended production and delivery.
