The U.S. dollar rose for the third consecutive session Friday in
typically anemic year-end trading against most major foreign currencies, as
professional players prepared to ride the currency higher in 1994.
Money watchers noted trading activity slowed to a trickle and price
fluctuations were limited to a few year-end position-squaring.
Analysts said a handful of traders lifted the dollar against the German
mark but pushed the currency lower against the Japanese yen as foreign
exchange trading dried up to a snals pace ahead of the New Year's weekend.
Money watchers said the dollar, which jumped 4 1/2 pfenning during the
week, continued its ride on Thursday's bullish economic reports.
Some traders are expecting the dollar to break above its 1993 high of 1.480
German marks as European interest rates begin to decline. The market will
watch the Bundesbank for signs about the direction of German interest rates.
