Dollar set for weekly loss ahead of key jobs data
The dollar was on track to end a six-week winning streak versus other significant currencies today, as it went into a crucial monthly U.S. jobs report that is likely to influence Federal Reserve policy in the near future. The dollar hit a one-week low against the yen this week as a result of falling U.S. Treasury yields following largely negative economic data. Ahead of policy meetings later this month, officials at the respective central banks adopted more dovish stances, which helped the dollar hold onto gains earned versus the euro and the pound sterling overnight.
