U.S. Dollar Index Little higher

The U.S Dollar Index is trading a little higher Wednesday. Market chatter about Thursday's U.S. economic data is just beginning to make the rounds. At 8:30 AM Initial Jobless Claims data is due out along with Continuing Claims data. At 10:00 AM Wholesale Inventories data for February is due. Market talk about today's release of FOMC minutes and comments by Fed officials has led to a steady trading session after some early weakness. The June U.S. Dollar Index is trading at 98.15, up 0.09.
