Globally, the U.S. dollar loitered around its seven-month lows on Friday amid fears of an economic slowdown, Reuters reported.
The dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against major currencies, rose 0.098% to 102.12, not far off the seven-month low of 101.51 it reached on Wednesday.
The index is down 1.3% this year after sinking 7.7% in the last three months of 2022 as investors expected the Federal Reserve will slow the pace of its interest rate rises.
