Bloomberg
(05/7) -- The dollar gained versus most of its major peers this week
ahead of a U.S. report today that may show companies added enough jobs
to lower the unemployment rate, boosting growth prospects for the
world’s biggest economy.
The greenback traded near its strongest
in more than a month against the yen and euro amid speculation the
Federal Reserve will start paring back stimulus. The euro and pound slid
after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi and Bank of England
Governor Mark Carney signaled in separate policy decisions that they
will keep borrowing costs at record lows.
The dollar rose 0.2
percent to 100.25 yen as of 8:34 a.m. in Tokyo after touching 100.86 on
July 3, the highest since May 31. The U.S. currency gained 0.1 percent
to $1.2903 per euro from yesterday, when it reached $1.2883, the
strongest since May 29. The euro added 0.1 percent to 129.35 yen. The
pound lost 0.2 percent to $1.5037 after earlier falling to $1.5028, the
least since May 29. |
