According to Bloomberg Economic Agency, the dollar index, which measures the US currency against 6 major currencies, rose 0.412 percent.

The Australian dollar fell 1.65 percent against the US dollar at $ 0.661, giving up gains of 0.87 percent last July.

 The yen fell 0.74 percent at 143.33 per dollar, and the euro also fell 0.21 percent to $ 1.097.

The pound sterling recorded in the latest trading at $ 1.2753, down 0.65 percent during the day.
