New York, 14 November 2026 – The US dollar rose against the euro and British pound in late New York trading on Friday, 13 November, while slipping against the Japanese yen. The US Dollar Index, maintained by ICE Data Indices, rose 0.23% to 103.412 at 3 p.m. New York time, equivalent to 4 a.m. in Malaysia on Saturday. That was an afternoon reading, not an official closing level. The euro traded at USD 1.1023 and the pound at USD 1.3210 in late trading, both below their previous-session levels.
For Asian businesses and investors, the split matters more than the headline index move alone. A company importing goods invoiced in dollars has a different exposure from one buying Japanese equipment or selling into Europe. Friday’s quotes show the dollar strengthened against several major currencies, but they do not establish how it moved against every Asian currency or what a company would have paid to exchange funds at the time.
