NEW YORK, Nov 19 (Reuters) - The dollar index rose on Tuesday, after an initial boost to safe-haven currencies such as the greenback, Swiss franc and yen prompted by an announcement by Russia that it would lower its threshold for a nuclear strike faded following comments by Russian and U.S. officials.
Ukraine used U.S. ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory for the first time, Moscow said, in an attack regarded by Russia as a major increase in hostilities on the war's 1,000th day.
