The US dollar strengthened in the previous session, buoyed by hawkish commentary from Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh. Traders interpreted his remarks as signaling a more aggressive policy stance, which provided support for the greenback.
Attention now shifts to the June US employment report, due for release later today. The data will be closely watched for clues on labor market strength and its implications for the Fed's next moves. Any upside surprise could reinforce the dollar's recent gains, while a weaker print may temper rate hike expectations.
