LONDON - The euro hovered near its weakest level since May 2017 on Friday as traders waited to see whether United States GDP numbers due out later will reinforce signs of economic strength and send the dollar surging even higher.
The dollar index versus a basket of six major currencies inched lower to 98.101 after advancing to 98.322 on Thursday, its highest since May 2017.Data at 1230 GMT is expected to show that U.S. gross domestic product increased 2.0 percent year-on-year in the first quarter. That follows strong capital goods numbers on Thursday.
That was followed by other policymakers delaying tightening plans, with the Riksbank the latest to do so on Thursday, sending the Swedish crown to 17-year lows. The crown recovered 0.4 percent versus the dollar on Friday to 9.5015, with similar gains against the euro to 10.5825 crowns.“Nevertheless, economic data suggest that our anticipated USD decline may be delayed by a quarter or even longer should the US administration impose tariffs on European autos in May,” they said.
