Dollar Holds Steady Ahead of US Jobs ReportSingapore, 8 Jan 2026 (ONA) — The dollar was calm today as investors weighed a slew of data that showed the US economy was in a delicate position ahead of a crucial jobs report on Friday. The euro was steady at $1.1678 in early Asian hours, on course for a small weekly drop, while sterling bought $1.34605. The yen was flat at 156.78 per US dollar. The Australian dollar fetched $0.6721, just below the 15-month high it touched earlier this week, while the New Zealand dollar was little changed at $0.5769. The dollar index, which measures the US currency against six rival currencies, was steady at 98.737 and set for a small gain for the week. The dollar is coming off its worst annual performance since 2017, with analysts predicting another year of decline, albeit a more modest drop.— Ends/Khalid
