# Dollar index ends the week strongly! Euro, pound and Australian dollar all fall as traders watch three key levels

> The U.S. dollar index rose 0.33% for the week to about 102.28, while the euro, pound and Australian dollar weakened; the dollar also gained against the yen and Canadian dollar. A stronger-than-expected U.S. payrolls report on Friday revived expectations of a December Fed rate hike and pushed the dollar index up 0.77% that day.

## Why it matters

Stronger U.S. rate expectations supported the dollar and widened interest-rate differentials, potentially increasing the local-currency cost of imported feed and other commodities for buyers outside the United States.
