Dollar Index Weakens Around 99.00 in Friday's Asian Session
The US dollar index is losing ground for a third consecutive day, trading around 99.00 during Asian hours on Friday.
GBP/USD gathers strength to near 1.3530 during early Asian trading hours on Friday. The pound is firmer into the US labour stamp.

GBP/USD gathers strength to near 1.3530 during early Asian trading hours on Friday. That is the Friday session stamp. The pound is firmer into the US labour stamp.
A separate Thursday stamp had the pair at 1.3535, up 0.37%, after Waller tempered Fed hike bets. Thursday’s 1.3535 is prior session color. It is not the Friday lede.
BoE’s Pill struck a hawkish tone on Thursday on the Friday stamp — raising Bank Rate to head off inflation risk tied to the Iran-war energy shock. That is sterling-side color. Governor Bailey at 14:20 IST is a separate watch note. August US jobs have not printed. They are due later Friday. A hot NFP that re-prices Fed hike odds higher is the falsifier for this early Asian sterling bid.
