The dollar is at risk of falling given the lack of confidence in how the Federal Reserve will respond to the energy-price shock driven by the Middle East conflict, MUFG Bank's Derek Halpenny said in a note.

Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh has failed to provide any clear signals about potential interest-rate rises as he refrains from forward guidance.

Concerns that the Fed could keep rates on hold despite underlying inflation remaining elevated is causing a steepening of the Treasury yield curve where the gap between long-term and short-term yields widens as long-term yields stay elevated, Halpenny said.
