Dollar Opens Week Boosted by AI Enthusiasm, Haven Demand - Bloomberg

The U.S. dollar opened higher in the week amid rising AI enthusiasm and increased demand for safe-haven assets. Financial markets reacted to strong AI sector sentiment and global risk-off flows. Bloomberg reported the move as driven by investor behavior in equities and currency pairs. The dollar index rose 0.8 percent on Monday, with the USD/JPY pair gaining 1.2 percent. The surge followed a surge in AI-related stock trading volumes and bond yields. Investors shifted capital toward dollar-denominated assets amid uncertainty in emerging markets.
