The dollar rose today, to stabilize its price after the recent losses it suffered, in anticipation of the decisions of the Federal Reserve (the US Central Bank) and the European Central Bank regarding interest rates in early May, and ahead of the meeting of the Central Bank of Japan.
Trading was fairly stable, with the pound dropping 0.2% to 1.2420 against the dollar, and the euro falling 0.1% to 1.09775 against the dollar.
Neither of the two currencies was able to maintain its highest levels that it recorded in several months, in mid-April, above 1.25 against the dollar, and 1.10 against the dollar.
The dollar rose 0.1% to 134.2 against the Japanese yen, with the US currency index rising 0.12% to 101.8 points.
