The United States dollar rose on Thursday to a high last seen in mid-March after a string of stronger-than-projected data apparently led traders to believe that the Federal Reserve could again see issues with elevated prices and opt for more interest rate hikes or keep them for longer beyond expectations.
The euro decreased 0.90%, landing at $1.06354 at 1:57 pm ET. The pound declined 0.71% at 1:58 pm ET to $1.24013.
On the other hand, the greenback was nearly unchanged against the Japanese yen, selling for 147.433 at the same time.
