The dollar comes under pressure on Wednesday amid a surge in U.S. inflation, buoyed by a global energy crisis. The US dollar index, which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, is down 0.1% to 99.8 on Wednesday as US inflation data surged to a three-year high.

The dollar index slipped below 98.5 on Monday after briefly rising to 99.3 earlier in the session as demand slowed sharply. The markets reacted to reports that Iran had submitted a new proposal to the US aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and easing tensions.
