The day before, the dollar closed its third consecutive session in the red, in another day of price adjustments after the surge in recent weeks, in a movement favored by the fall of the US currency abroad.
The release of relatively weak figures for the North American economy put the dollar back into negative territory. S&P Global said its Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) of U.S. production, which tracks the manufacturing and services sectors, fell from 52.1 in March to 50.9 in April. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the private sector.
The manufacturing sector entered contraction territory, with the preliminary PMI falling from 51.9 to 49.9. The services index fell from 51.7 to 50.9 in April
