US Dollar Rally Pauses Before Jobs Data, Bitcoin Trades Near Record

FOREX - TOKYO. The dollar backed off a three-month peak on Wednesday as investors waited for key economic data, while bitcoin sat close to a record high as traders raised their bets on a Donald Trump victory in next week's presidential election.

Meanwhile, the euro ticked up from a three-month low as inflation and growth data from the euro zone trickled in, and the pound held steady ahead of the new Labour government's first budget.
