0639 GMT - The dollar remains firm after reaching its highest level since April 2025 against a basket of currencies Monday, supported by U.S. interest-rate rise expectations and French debt concerns. While expectations for the Federal Reserve to raise rates later this month have been trimmed in recent sessions, markets are fully pricing a 25 basis-points rate increase by December and more than three moves next year, LSEG data show. Meanwhile, French fiscal worries have weighed on the euro and lifted the dollar as a safe haven. The DXY dollar index rises 0.1% to 102.259 after reaching as high as 102.535 Monday.
