At the end of this week, currencies such as the pound, rupee, and yuan fell, while the dollar rose for a weekly gain.

The greenback's 0.17% gain for the week was somewhat limited by a slight slowdown in its rally since Thursday, following a rare trilateral warning from finance chiefs in the United States, Japan and South Korea on falling currencies of these two latest. The greenback rose 0.05% to 106.22, approaching a more than five month high of 106.51

Par ailleurs, la livre Sterling was little changed on Friday after falling to its lowest level in five months against the dollar during trading hours in Asia, while investors were reacting to reports of an Israeli attack on Iran.
