 <p>The US dollar is rising against all leading currencies and reached a six-month high on Thursday. The increase comes after strong job reports in the US and the European Central Bank (ECB) signaled that interest rate hikes could cool down. Retail sales in the U.S. beat expectations and increased by 0.6% in August, which is three times more than the expected figure of 0.2%. The development comes at a time when the <a rel="dofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> alliance is attempting to derail the US dollar in international markets.</p>

The Euro, Pound, Yen, Rupee, and Yuan are experiencing downside while the US dollar is ending on a high.</p>
