The Dollar Index rose to the highest level in a month before a report forecast to show companies in the U.S. added more jobs in June. Companies in the U.S. added 160,000 workers last month after increasing positions by 135,000 in May, analysts in a Bloomberg poll predicted before a report today by the Roseland, New Jersey-based ADP Research Institute.

The dollar traded near the strongest in a month versus the euro before data that may show service industries expanded at the fastest pace since March. The Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index climbed to 54 last month from 53.7 in May, a report from the Tempe, Arizona-based group is predicted to show today, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the industries that make up almost 90 percent of the economy.

New York Fed President William C. Dudley said yesterday economic growth will probably quicken in 2014, possibly warranting a reduction in the central bank's bond-purchase program, which currently stands at $85 billion a month.

Europe's shared currency weakened against most of its 16 major counterparts before the European Central Bank meets tomorrow. The ECB will keep its main refinancing rate at a record-low 0.5 percent on July 4, according to economists in a Bloomberg survey. Policy "will stay accommodative for the foreseeable future," President Mario Draghi said in Paris on June 26.

Australia's currency declined to its lowest in more than two years after RBA Governor Stevens said the downward phase of the resource investment boom in his country "appears likely to pose significant challenges."
