Dollar Gains as Markets Reassess Jobs Data and Await Inflation Figures

The US dollar rose on Monday as investors continued to assess Friday's weak employment report while awaiting inflation data due this week for further clues on the Federal Reserve's interest-rate path.

The US Dollar Index, which measures the currency against six major peers, rose 0.2% to 99.7 at 11:29 GMT, after hitting its lowest level since June 15 on Friday.

The euro was little changed at $1.1563, remaining close to its strongest level since mid-June, while sterling held steady at $1.3496, below a three-and-a-half-week high.
