The U.S. dollar rose against the Japanese yen at intraday highs area Y80.13 after the publication of ISM, which were better than forecast. However, data on consumer confidence fell below the forecast, although increased.

Earlier, the dollar rose after the ADP report for October, reported an increase in employment in the private sector by 158 thousand, exceeding forecasts. Meanwhile, applying for unemployment benefits last week fell to 363 thousand compared to the expected 369 thousand
