According to Reuters, the dollar rallied on Monday against a basket of currencies, as recent employment data would have prompted some Wall Street banks to raise their estimates of how quickly the Federal Reserve (Fed) to move forward. The United States will raise interest rates this year.

The dollar index, which is measured against six major pairs, rose 0.4% to 96.15 in the afternoon in New York. The indicator remains close to the 16-month high hit at the end of November.

Also, the safe haven currency was supported by the closely watched employment report on Friday that suggested the US job market was at or near its employment peak.

In addition, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned emerging economies about a possible hike in interest rates from the Federal Reserve Board (FED) of the United States.

According to the international body, faster-than-expected cycles in the Federal Reserve could shake financial markets and trigger capital outflows, as well as a depreciation of their currencies.

Along these lines, the group led by Kristalina Georgieva pointed out that a gradual and well-communicated tightening of the Fed’s monetary policy would probably have little impact on emerging markets, as foreign demand would offset the impact of rising financing costs.
