It was a positive day for the dollar, with strong gains against all major rivals, including around half a percent against the pound, euro and yen.
The dollar index has been gaining steadily over the past week, by around 1%.
Will that change as more economic data arrives at the start of the month? There are two important readings today: ISM services PMI and JOLTs Job Openings, both at 3pm UK time. It all leads to Friday’s Non-farm Payrolls, one of the month’s most market moving readings.
