The U.S. dollar stood at its highest in two weeks against a basket of currencies early on Friday, having made a decisive move a day after the Federal Reserve delivered a long-awaited hike in interest rates. The Canadian dollar was now close to a 12-year low, having come within a whisker of C$1.40 per USD (CAD=D4). The U.S. dollar index (.DXY) was flirting with 99.000, holding onto a 1.2 percent gain on Thursday – its biggest rise in over a month.
