0823 GMT - The dollar should remain supported ahead of the Federal Reserve's June 17 policy decision, ING's Chris Turner says in a note. Friday's stronger-than-expected U.S. nonfarm payrolls report encouraged markets to fully price in a quarter point rate rise by year-end and another increase next year, LSEG data show. The Fed is in a communication blackout period before its meeting, meaning there is "little to no scope" for policymakers to push back against this pricing, Turner says. Renewed Israel-Iran strikes also lift the dollar due to increased demand for safe havens and higher oil prices. The DXY dollar index trades flat at 100.076 after reaching a two-month high of 100.174 overnight. ING sees it potentially rising above 100.250-100.650 resistance levels. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
