The dollar ticked up against a basket of rival currencies in holiday-thinned trading on Thursday as a dip in weekly jobless claims data helped ease fears that a surge of COVID-19 infections would curb the economic recovery.
The dip in jobless claims came even as COVID-19 infections in the United States hit a record high for the second day running, Reuters data showed."The market is blasé about many of the risks emanating from Omicron right now in terms of growth and the supply chain," said Adam Button, chief currency analyst at ForexLive.
At 3:15 Eastern time, the dollar index , which measures the greenback against six major peers, was up 0.158% at 95.976, after having been negative in the overnight session.
