The U.S. currency fell broadly on Friday on fading expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates yet again in August. The dollar weakened most notably against the yen after China reported it was raising its bank reserve reqirements by 0.5 percentage points in an attempt to slow its expanding economy. U.S. data calendar this week includes consumer confidence, home sales and durable goods orders.
The crown was barely changed versus the European single currency on Friday, trading near the firmer edge of a 28.4-28.6 per euro range which it has been holding for about a month.
