> The dollar index fell 0.3% to 101.87 on Monday as improved market sentiment reduced safe-haven demand, after the currency had rallied on Friday following strong US jobs data. Brent crude dropped 3.3% after President Trump played down the likelihood of renewed strikes on Iran; the euro, sterling, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar strengthened against the US currency.
