The U.S. dollar rose to a 1-week high of 1.0913 against the euro and nearly a 4-week high of 0.8586 against the Swiss franc, from yesterday's closing quotes of 1.0948 and 0.8554, respectively.
Against the pound and the yen, the greenback advanced to an 8-day high of 1.2677 and a 5-day high of 146.24 from yesterday's closing quotes of 1.2725 and 145.73, respectively.
The greenback climbed to nearly a 5-week high of 1.3475 against the Canadian dollar, from Monday's closing value of 1.3424.
