Dollar back on upward track, hits eight-year high vs yen

The dollar rose 1 percent against a basket of currencies on Tuesday, extending gains since a round of improved inflation data last Friday and driving the euro below $1.09 for the first time in a month.

The dollar index last traded at 96.956 after reaching a one-month high of 97.109. It stood at $1.0906 per euro, just off a high of $1.0885 and up 0.6 percent on the day.
