In the second Asian, the dollar rose against a basket of currencies on Tuesday and was on track for its best quarter since 2008, bolstered by the diverging outlook for monetary policy in the United States compared to other major economies.

In the Asia, almost all markets were closed on account of Good Friday and Easter holidays.
At the week-end, the dollar tumbled on Friday after a significantly weaker-than-expected US jobs report that will increase speculation over whether the US Federal Reserve will hold off on tightening monetary policy for longer than expected.
The euro immediately spiked to a 1 percent gain following the report, touching a one week high of $1.10050 on the EBS trading platform. Trading volumes are very thin owing to the Easter holiday that has much of Europe closed and skeletal staffing at US banks.
