NEW YORK: The dollar climbed on Friday against a basket of currencies as robust Chinese export figures soothed some worries about the world´s second-biggest economy and its trade war with Washington.

At 10:43 a.m. (1443 GMT), an index that tracks the dollar versus six major currencies was up 0.29 percent at 95.291. It touched a seven-week high of 96.15 on Tuesday.

The euro and pound retreated from two-week and three-week peaks, respectively, versus the greenback.
