The dollar is poised for a weekly gain against most major currencies as investor optimism builds over trade negotiations following a U.S.-UK trade deal. Investor sentiment improved amid expectations that the U.S.-China talks scheduled for the weekend will provide positive developments.

The euro dipped to a one-month low against the dollar, marginally recovering later. The yen also experienced fluctuations, mirroring investor sentiment, while the pound fell after initial gains on the limited U.S.-UK trade agreement.

Central bank policies remained largely stable, with focus shifting to global trade dynamics. Despite market fluctuations, Bitcoin's strong rally reflects increased risk appetite in speculative markets.
