Globally, the dollar strengthened against the euro on Thursday, after better-than-expected U.S. economic data continue to foil investors' expectation for relatively dovish monetary policy from the Federal Reserve.
A recent string of strong data show that, for now, the U.S. is staving off a recession, increasing the likelihood that the Fed could further hike interest rates if it continues to see strong economic numbers across the board.
The dollar index , which measures the currency against six major peers, rose 0.692% to 101.790, while the euro is down 1.06% to $1.0965.
