Dollar inches higher as yuan stabilizes

The dollar inched higher Monday against a basket of rival currencies as the Chinese yuan stabilized, quelling fears that a weaker yuan would push other countries to devalue their currencies, potentially delaying an interest-rate hike by Federal Reserve policy makers.

The ICE U.S. dollar index DXY, +0.02%  , a measure of the dollar’s strength against a basket of six rivals, was up 0.3% Monday to 96.8210.

The euro EURUSD, -0.0451%   fell 0.3% to $1.1078 in recent trade Monday. The yen USDJPY, +0.05% shed 0.1% from its level late Friday afternoon, trading at ¥124.39 to the dollar as it shrugged off a contraction in Japan’s economy during the second quarter. The pound GBPUSD, +0.0064%  shed 0.2% of its value to trade at $1.5616.
