Despite slipping yesterday, the greenback ends the week up on most of its rivals compared to last Friday, including gains of over 1% against AUD, NOK and JPY.
There has been little progress against the euro or sterling overall, however.
Yesterday saw a lot of lower-level data, but including positive news on US jobs, with weekly jobless claims falling. Later this afternoon we’ll see ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI, which is expected to be around 54.5.
There will also be plenty of speeches from members of the Fed’s interest rate-setting panel the FOMC. Both of these could be market-moving.
