The US dollar index was up by 0.3% at 93.99 at 8:51 a.m. ET.

The dollar "is enjoying modest gains against most currencies as prospects of both tax reform and additional monetary tightening by the Fed carry over from last week," Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, said in commentary
