The past week was a rather futile one for the U.S. dollar. None of the bursts and falls managed to start a trend, and the overall USD Index movement was flat. However, while the beginning of the week saw the index hold above the base value, Friday was marked by mounting losses, and the dollar posted negative weekly change against five out of its eight observed peers. The period's best performers, the Canadian dollar and the Swedish krona, both gained around 0.75% against the Greenback, while the period's losers, the pound and the yen, only gave up 0.37% and 0.29%, respectively.
