US Dollar Index edges higher

FXstreet.com (New York) - The US Dollar Index managed to edge slightly higher during Asian trading Wednesday, helped in part by robust economic data yesterday during the New York session.

Indeed, the recent picture out of the United States has been one of a recovery, despite the headlines being dominated by talks of Fed tapering. Earlier today the US markets staged some manner of recovery after a dismal start to the week, and across the board all indices edged higher. Presently the USD Dollar Index has settled 82.85 in these moments, up a tepid +0.08% during Asian trading.
