The United States dollar climbed toward multi-month highs on Friday as investors sought safety amid an intensifying conflict in the Middle East and fading hopes for a diplomatic de-escalation. Markets remained on edge following a volatile week, particularly after President Donald Trump extended a pause on strikes against energy facilities in Iran into April, despite conflicting reports regarding progress in negotiations.
