The euro edged higher to $1.1237 on Tuesday morning, supported in part by falling oil prices, with Brent briefly dropping below $90 a barrel. Traders awaited U.S. inflation data amid changing expectations for Federal Reserve policy, while hopes for an end to the U.S.-Iran war weighed on oil prices.
