Traditionally tracking the greenback versus a basket of six main currencies, the US dollar index slid 0.1% showing 94.036, but still keeping to its overnight high of 94.104, which is its highest reading since November 14.
The euro managed to tack on 0.1% being worth $1.1738, nursing losses after sagging to $1.1722 in the previous trading session after German coalition government negotiations failed.
