The US dollar index is currently quoting at 104.83, almost unchanged on the day after a sharp spurt in last session that pushed it near three month high.
The benchmark 10-year 7.18% G-sec 2033 bond yield edged up above 7.10% today amid rising US yields and firm economic cues. The US 10 year yield lingers around 4.30%, zooming near one year high.

Meanwhile, prices for used cars and trucks and apparel were among those that decreased over the month, the Labor Department said.
