The Dollar then rose modestly on short covering interest, then advanced to session highs following the better then expected August manufacturing ISM. The Dollar index hit a top of 92.38 following the data. Incoming U.S. data has remained largely positive, and should it continue, the USD’s steep slide seen over the past month’s could begin to abate.
