LONDON/SINGAPORE—The dollar edged up after pushing the yen to a 10-month trough on Thursday and kept the euro and sterling pinned near three-month lows, as investors placed their hopes on a still-resilient U.S. economy.
Against a basket of currencies including the euro and sterling, the dollar rose 0.05 percent to 104.91, holding on to some of its gains from the previous session after scaling a six-month peak as the U.S. services sector unexpectedly gained steam in August.
