Dollar Gains On Leading Currencies
Further signs of an improving U.S. economy helped lift the dollar against leading currencies Wednesday in trading thinned by holidays in much of the world.
The dollar’s rise against the German mark and Japanese yen was aided by a strong performance in the U.S. Treasury bond market.
May Day holidays in continental Europe and Mexico and a vacation break in Japan kept trading thin.
As of 4 p.m. in New York, the dollar stood at 105.32 yen, up from 105.13 yen Tuesday, and 1.5363 marks, up from 1.5310.
