The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback's value against six major currencies, goes nowhere in the US session after some earlier gains this Thursday ahead of some US economic data.

At 13:30 GMT, the weekly Jobless Claims for the week ending on January 17 came out. The actual number came in at 223,000, coming from 217,000 in last week's count. The Continuing Claims for the week of January 10 came in at 1.899 million, from 1.859 million previously.
At 16:00 GMT, the Kansas Fed will release its manufacturing activity survey for January. No forecast is available, with the previous reading at -5.

Expectations are that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will remain data-dependent with uncertainties that could influence inflation during US President Donald Trump's term.
The US 10-year yield is trading around 4.63%, off its poor performance seen earlier this week at 4.528% and still has a long way to go back to the more-than-one-year high from last week at 4.807%.(Cay) Newsmaker23
