The dollar index rose by 0.14% on Monday. The dollar strengthened as concerns over the Eurozone economy weakened the euro after the Eurozone’s September manufacturing and composite PMI indices contracted more than expected. The dollar retreated from its highest level on Monday after the S&P Global services and manufacturing PMI dropped to 54.4 and 47.0. Notably, the manufacturing PMI was weaker than the expected 48.6, marking the steepest decline in 15 months, indicating a slowdown in U.S. business activity in early September.
