> The article says the US dollar strengthened as stocks and oil retreated, following stronger-than-expected US payrolls and a lower unemployment rate. It also notes the Bank of England’s rate increase and a Reserve Bank of Australia hike that was accompanied by softer guidance on future tightening.
