# Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index Falls 1.8% in April on US-Iran Ceasefire - Bloomberg

> The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell about 1.9% in April, its worst month since June, as the prospect of peace talks led traders to unwind haven bets. Part of the decline was reversed later in the month after a renewed oil price spike and expectations of Fed hikes.
