U.S. Dollar weakens before employment report

The Dollar Index dropped on Friday after it was near its highest level in an eight-month period after the U.S. report showed that employers in the country hired fewer workers than forecast in the month of March signalling that the U.S. economic growth is slowing. The Dollar Index edged lower 0.2% to 82.529 earlier on Friday after it touched its lowest level since March 25 at 82.273.
