Dollar Edges Down But Set to End Week on a High

FOREX - SINGAPORE. The dollar edged down on Friday but hovered near a two-year high and looked set to wrap up its third week of gains while markets digested a raft of global central bank action and the looming risk of a U.S. government shutdown.

The dollar was down 0.20% against a basket of six other currencies at 108.2, but earlier in the day rose to a two-year peak at 108.54.
