Dollar Moves Higher Ahead of Expected Fed Rate-Hike Next Week

EUR/USD (^EURUSD) Friday fell by -0.09% and posted a 1-week low.  Strength in the dollar Friday weighed on the euro. Losses in EUR/USD were limited by expectations for the ECB to raise interest rates by +25 bp at next week’s policy meeting.
