Dollar higher following jobless claims; Bernanke 2nd day testimony expected
The U.S. Dollar inched up against the Euro, as the number of first-time unemployed benefit seekers declined moderately by 24,000, ahead of the second day of Ben Bernanke's testimony later today. The greenback advanced 0.30% to $1.3085 versus the common currency, after the jobless claims fell to 334,000, overshooting economists expectations of 360,000.
