The market is focused on US employment, after the first positive figures and on the eve of official data. Thus, the dollar moved this Thursday to its highest in three months against a basket of other major currencies.

The monthly report on employment and the unemployment rate in the United States must be published this Friday by the Department of Labor. In the meantime, the greenback remains on its way. Around 3:45 p.m. (7:45 p.m. GMT), the dollar gained 0.15% to 92.43 points on the dollar index, its highest level since the beginning of April on this index which compares it to other major currencies. The euro lost 0.12% to 1.1844 dollars, also a three-month low against the greenback. In June, the dollar index gained nearly 3%, its best monthly performance since Donald Trump's victory at the end of 2016. Note that at its last meeting, the members of the Fed's monetary committee advanced from 2024 to 2023 the date of the first increase in their key interest rates in the forecasts they share with the public.
