“I think it reinforces the expectation of the Fed moving to 25 basis points moves now,” Cole said.

The euro was 0.23% lower at $1.08895, but not far from the nine-month high of $1.09295 touched on Monday.

Against the yen, the dollar was up 0.54% at 130.275 yen.

Attention now turns to next week’s central bank meetings, including the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.

Traders broadly expect the Fed to increase rates by 25 basis points (bps) next Wednesday, a step down from a 50 bps increase in December.Meanwhile, the ECB has all but committed to raising its key rate by half a percentage point next week.
