Earlier today, the U.S. Dollar saw its highest gains against the Euro in more than 18 months, and traded near the 16 month high versus a basket of major currencies. These highs were fuelled by continuing global demand for the U.S. currency. The U.S. Dollar index steadied at 83.139 .DXY, coming very close to yesterday’s high of 83.230, the highest the .DXY has been over the past 16 months
