Dollar hits 2-week high versus yen after playful US information


The dollar hit a two-week high versus the yen on Thursday, expanding its additions after solid U.S. monetary information reinforced desires for a strong U.S. occupations report in the not so distant future. 

The dollar rose to as high as 110.545 yen, its most grounded level since Aug. 16. It last changed hands at 110.51 yen, up 0.2 percent from late U.S. exchange on Wednesday. 

The greenback picked up a lift after the Commerce Department said on Wednesday that its second gauge of U.S. GDP demonstrated that the economy developed at a yearly 3.0 percent yearly in the second quarter, the snappiest in over two years. 

What's more, the ADP National Employment Report indicated U.S. private-division managers contracted 237,000 specializes in August for the greatest month to month increment in five months, driving desires for a strong U.S. August non-cultivate payrolls figure.

In the wake of such solid economic indicators, market expectations for the chances of a Fed rate hike in December may start to increase and support the dollar, said Stephen Innes, head of trading in Asia-Pacific for Oanda in Singapore.

"I think the market is starting to think that eventually, the wage growth component is going to start to kick in," Innes said, adding that the dollar may attract demand ahead of the U.S. nonfarm payrolls data due on Friday.

The euro nursed its wounds after falling 0.7 percent against the dollar on Wednesday in its biggest daily percentage drop against the dollar in nearly four weeks.

The euro edged up 0.1 percent on the day to $1.1890, having retreated from a more than 2-1/2 year high of $1.2070 set on Tuesday.
