The dollar remained steady against its rivals Thursday, with jittery investors waiting to see if the U.S. jobs data provide fresh cues on the strength of the economy.
The dollar was almost flat at ¥102.78 from ¥102.79 late Wednesday in New York. The euro was also little-changed at $1.3394 from $1.3397, while declining slightly to ¥137.67 from ¥137.71.
Uchida said a recent pickup in short-term U.S. Treasury yields may help the greenback. The yield on the two-year note 2_YEAR +1.42% rose to as high as 0.591%, the highest since May 2011.
“It is only necessary for the dollar to consolidate at the ¥103-level,” said Uchida, who expects the dollar to move between ¥101.50 and ¥103.50 next week.
The WSJ Dollar Index XX:BUXX +0.09% , a measure of the dollar against a basket of major currencies, was up 0.03% at 73.84.
