The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against six major rivals, rose 0.23 percent to 93.647 on Tuesday, after data showing U.S. job openings surging to a record in June, the latest indication that companies are having trouble finding qualified workers, reinforced Friday's robust payrolls data. The euro fell 0.37 percent against the greenback at $1.1749. Against the yen, the dollar was down 0.39 percent at 110.30 as the tensions between U.S. and North Korea stoked safe-haven sentiment. The euro is expected to meet resistance and support against the dollar at $1.1900 and $1.1650 respectively, while the dollar is expected to meet resistance and support against the yen at 112.00 and 109.00 respectively.
