Dollar Climbs to Two-Week High on Oil Price Surge
The US dollar has reached a two-week high, driven by rising oil prices and increased expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike this week.
The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, is currently at 99.55.
The euro and sterling have weakened slightly against the dollar, trading at $1.1538 and $1.3494 respectively.
Japan's yen has pulled back from its seven-month high, down about 0.2% at $154.72 ahead of an expected Bank of Japan rate hike on Friday.
