1130 GMT - The dollar could stay confined to a tight range in the near term due to uncertainty over the Middle East conflict, ING's Chris Turner says in a note. The dollar briefly fell Monday on reduced demand for safe havens and lower oil prices due to America's energy independence after President Trump said the U.S. would postpone military strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure for five days. Traders will be eager to hear, particularly from Iran, whether there's any realistic chance of ceasefire negotiations, Turner says. "Until then, any further rally in risk assets and selloff in the dollar will prove limited." The DXY dollar index rises 0.3% to 99.280. ING expects it to trade in a range of 99.00-100.00 for now.
