Greenback dips ahead of US inflation data
The US currency slumped because US Treasury yields kept to recent minimums, waiting for American inflation data for a potential spur following this week's dip from 10-week maximums.
Tracking the greenback’s strength versus a basket of six rivals, the US dollar index dipped 0.1% being worth 92.970, and it was braced for shedding 0.9% for the week.
The index had soared to the 10-week maximum of 94.267 previous Friday after firm American wages data hardened hopes for a December Fed rate lift, but it has decreased through the week along with a firm sink in Treasury yields.
The greenback was moderately lower on the day versus its Japanese rival at 112.120 yen, and the major American currency found itself on track for a dip of 0.3% for this week, during which it slumped to 111.990.
The US currency often makes strides versus the Japanese yen during heightened investor risk appetite, although its response to Japan's Nikkei soaring to a 21-year maximum this week has been restricted.
