The US dollar index rose 0.23% to 103.412 in late trading on Friday, with the dollar firmer against the euro, pound, yen, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar and Swedish krona. The yen traded near 159.78 per dollar.
A firmer dollar makes dollar-priced commodities such as grains and oilseeds more expensive for buyers outside the US, which can soften export demand and prices at the margin. The move is small.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
