Western Union notes in a report on Wednesday:

  • The dollar flew at new multiyear highs as better jobs data kept a brighter spotlight on the Fed who mulls a policy decision next week. But with the dollar continuing to pour on the appreciation, the Fed might feel less pressure to raise rates since a strong currency can have a growth dampening effect much like an interest rate hike.
