U.S. Dollar Index little changed

The June U.S. Dollar Index is trading steady early Thursday morning at 98.15, up 0.01. The Dollar index is a little soft after showing some gains early overnight in Europe. U.S. Jobless claims data is due at 08:30 AM. Manufacturing PMI data is due at 09:45 AM and U.S. New Home Sales figures are due at 10:00 AM ET. Chatter about U.S. Durable Goods data due Friday is just beginning. Once all the data comes out chatter about the next payroll report is likely to show up.
