Dollar Speculation Lifts Greenback

Wed., June 7, 1995

The dollar advanced against most major currencies Tuesday, benefiting from optimism that the Group of Seven industrialized nations would repledge support for a stronger U.S. currency when they meet next week.

The G-7 is scheduled to meet June 15-17 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Analysts predicted that the U.S. currency would remain steady ahead of the meeting, in anticipation of the reaffirmation for a strong dollar.

The dollar also was supported by speculation that the Federal Reserve and other central banks would orchestrate another large-scale dollarbuying campaign before the G-7 meeting.
