The US dollar rose slightly in the European session which also saw most other major currencies pull back from daily highs.
Market players are now gearing up for the US NFP jobs report due out on Friday.
On a slightly bleak note, US jobs are forecast to grow more slowly in September than the previous month's figure. However, the unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 5.4%.
While awaiting the release of the data, investors will look to the release of the US weekly jobless claims report first in the New York session.
At the time of writing, the dollar index, which measures the greenback's strength, was trading up 11.24 against a basket of major currencies.
The pound weakened slightly but maintained its gains from last week, with the euro following the move ahead of the publication of the minutes of the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting.
The minute report will be scrutinized by investors for the next indication of the size of interest rate hikes by the central bank in the future.
On the other hand, the Aussie and New Zealand dollars also recorded losses, with the kiwi dollar almost erasing all gains made following Wednesday's central bank policy decision that has offered a hawkish stance after raising interest rates.
