The Dollar Index measures the strength of the dollar up by 0.3% this morning, reaching 93,381 points. The USD has risen sharply since last week after the President of the US Federal Reserve (FED) left open the possibility of raising interest rates in the meeting scheduled to take place in December.

Last weekend, US President Donald Trump interviewed a number of candidates for the Fed Chairmanship position when Yellen finished her term early next year. Markets are speculating that Mr Trump will choose Fed Governor Kavin Warsh for the position.
