Investing.com – The safe-haven U.S. dollar gained in early European trade Monday as the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East hit risk sentiment, following on from last week\u2019s strong payrolls report.<\/p>\n

At 03:00 ET (07:00 GMT), the Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, traded 0.4% higher at 106.204.<\/p>\n

Safe havens boosted by Middle East conflict escalation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The dollar was in demand Monday in the wake of the deadly attacks by militants from the Palestinian group Hamas on several Israeli towns over the weekend. In response, Israeli air strikes pounded numerous targets in Gaza, in the deadliest day of violence in the country for 50 years.<\/p>\n

fell 0.1% to 149.16, as the yen also received support, but trading ranges were limited with Japan closed for a holiday.<\/p>\n

By contrast, the Israeli shekel fell to an almost eight-year low against the U.S. dollar at 3.9230, prompting the Bank of Israel to announce it will sell up to $30 billion of foreign currency in the open market, in the central bank’s first ever sale of foreign exchange, to maintain stability.<\/p>\n

The move appeared to quickly calm the market, with the pair falling back to 3.9063, up 1.8%.<\/p>\n

CPI data could reinforce Fed\u2019s hawkish tone<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The greenback had benefited late last week by the release of stronger than expected data, with Friday\u2019s release showing U.S. employment increased by the most in eight months in September.<\/p>\n

Indications of a still tight labor market will put the focus even more on this week\u2019s release of data for September, given hot inflation figures could reinforce the Fed\u2019s message that interest rates need to remain higher for longer..<\/p>\n

August\u2019s CPI report showed the fastest increase in 14 months as the cost of gasoline surged, although core inflation, which excludes food and fuel costs rose at the slowest pace in nearly two years.<\/p>\n

German industrial output falls again<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

fell 0.4% to 1.0541, with the single currency hit hard by the weakened risk sentiment in the wake of attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n

Oil prices have jumped sharply in response, which has a negative impact on the single currency given Germany, the eurozone\u2019s dominant economy, has a high exposure to energy costs.<\/p>\n

Additionally, shrank in August for the fourth consecutive month, dropping 0.2% compared to the previous month, slightly more than the 0.1% fall expected.<\/p>\n

The statistics office revised July production data to a 0.6% decline month-on-month, compared with a provisional figure of a 0.8% drop.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, fell 0.5% to 1.2179, dropped 0.6% to 0.6345 and fell 0.4% to 0.5963, with these risk-sensitive currencies hit hard.<\/p>\n
