Dollar lifts as geopolitical concerns mount- EUR/USD falls below 1.0820

Around 30 minutes ago a news wire report emerged, purporting to show Iranian involvement in the assignation attempt on the Israeli Prime Minister. The accuracy of that report can neither be confirmed or denied here, but more so the fact to point out its existence. The impact of this news has already helped to send stocks lower here in Europe and also force the US futures lower too. At the same time it has supported the dollar and pushed the EUR/USD down towards the recent lows and sent the GBP/USD close to 1.2975 a short while ago. The USD/JPY is not any higher though and remains below the 151 handle, despite US yields still remaining elevated. So, that might be due to the immediate risk aversion this news report seems to have delivered. The EUR/USD is just now trading at 1.0818
