What do US Initial Jobless Claims figures mean for the US Dollar?

The Greenback extends its post-Fed gains and navigates the area of fresh yearly highs around 100.80 when gauged by the US Dollar Index (DXY) on Thursday.

The move higher in the US Dollar (USD) comes in response to rising bets of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed) later in the year, particularly in the wake of the hawkish hold on Wednesday.
