Dollar Falls Against Mark

Thu., Dec. 4, 1997

The dollar was mixed against other major currencies Wednesday, falling vs. the mark on strong German economic data and a warning from a German central bank official about higher interest rates if the dollar advances further.

The U.S. currency rose against the yen after a pessimistic outlook on Japan’s economic growth. But the gains were limited by profit-taking from the dollar’s recent rise and traders’ reluctance to make big moves in a market that has grown thinner and more volatile this week, dealers said.
