Forex: US Dollar Index grinding lower
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Poor data from the US labour market and the manufacturing sector have dented the USD rally, sparking a correction lower to the current area of 83.80/85 after Wednesday’s yearly highs above 84.00.
“The broader sense that the US recovery is still generally taking shape continues to be priced into the market. That view could be shaken in the coming days, but it would likely take a more notable data disappointments or strong comments from a Fed speaker.
