07:38 AM EDT, 05/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The US dollar rose against its major trading partners early Thursday, except for a decline versus the British pound, after the US Court of International Trade moved to block most of the Trump Administration's import tariffs on Wednesday, a ruling that will be appealed.

Fed Governor Adrian Kugler is expected to speak at 2:00 pm ET, followed by San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly at 4:00 pm ET, and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan at 10:25 pm.
