Dollar Edges Higher After Previous Day's Falls -- Market Talk
Dow Jones03-20 15:57
0757 GMT - The dollar rises slightly, reversing some of its falls the previous day. Thursday's falls came as oil prices dropped amid easing concerns over energy supply disruption stemming from the Middle East war. Oil prices stay lower on Friday but large uncertainties remain surrounding how long the conflict will last and how long energy prices will stay elevated. "The foreign exchange market will therefore have to brace for continued volatility in exchange rates as long as the conflict persists and brings new twists every day," Commerzbank's Volkmar Baur says in a note. The DXY dollar index rises 0.1% to 99.341, having fallen to an eight-day low of 98.975 on Thursday. (jessica.fleetham@wsj.com)
