The U.S. Dollar is down against most G10 currencies as traders process the Fed’s recent rate cut and await key economic data next week. U.S. jobless claims rose to 236,000, but markets rebounded as 10-year Treasury yields hit 4.16 percent following the reappointment of regional Fed presidents. Globally, the Swiss Franc is strong after the Swiss National Bank held rates at zero percent, with potential for intervention due to its rapid appreciation. The Canadian Dollar leads G10 currencies, supported by the Bank of Canada’s decision to hold rates at 2.25 percent, with inflation data expected Monday.
