LONDON/SINGAPORE—The dollar edged up on Thursday as investors were cautious after softer-than expected economic data muddied interest rate outlook ahead of the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium, while the Turkish lira awaited for a central bank rate decision.
The safe-haven dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, rose 0.15 percent to 103.50, bouncing from Wednesday’s drop, but was still set for a monthly rise.
