Dollar Edges Up In Listless Trading

The dollar rose slightly Wednesday in light trading devoid of any major trend.

Many traders in the United States and Europe remained on holiday and those who were working were reluctant to make big moves ahead of developments in the U.S. government budget stalemate.

In late New York trading, the dollar was quoted at 1.4335 German marks, up from 1.4330 on Tuesday. The dollar also fetched 102.84 Japanese yen, up from 102.40.
