The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major rivals, rose 0.48 percent to 101.59. The euro fell 0.53 percent at $1.0559 against the greenback. Against the yen, the dollar was up 1.18 percent at 115.36. The euro is expected to meet resistance and support against the dollar at $1.0790 and $1.0460 respectively, while the dollar is expected to meet resistance and support against the yen at 117.20 and 113.70 respectively.
