# Sterling rises versus dollar as market sentiment brightens

> Sterling rose just over 0.5% against the dollar on Monday as improved market sentiment reduced demand for safe-haven assets. Brent crude fell after US President Donald Trump downplayed the likelihood of renewed strikes on Iran, although attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz kept supply concerns in focus.

## Why it matters

A weaker dollar supports dollar-denominated commodity prices, while easing oil prices can reduce energy and freight costs for feed supply chains. Continued disruption risk near the Strait of Hormuz could limit the oil decline.
