The
dollar extended its longest winning streak in a month, while U.S.
stocks slid a second day as prices for oil, gold and emerging markets
retreated amid increasing speculation that the Federal Reserve is moving
closer to raising interest rates.
The
U.S. currency gained for a fourth day versus the euro and the yen,
sending the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index higher by 0.7 percent at 4 p.m.
in New York. The greenback strengthened versus all 16 major peers,
rising 0.4 percent to $1.1178 per euro and 0.1 percent to 112.43 yen.
The
pound weakened 0.7 percent to $1.4113, having slid 1.1 percent on
Tuesday amid speculation the Brussels terror attacks will boost the case
of campaigners who want to see Britain out of the European Union.
