07:37 AM EDT, 04/21/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The US dollar rose against its major trading partners early Tuesday ahead of the release of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve's non-manufacturing report for April and retail sales data for March, both at 8:30 am ET.

Weekly Redbook same-store sales data are due to be released at 8:55 am ET, followed by pending home sales data for March and business inventories data for February, both at 10:00 am ET, at the same time as a nomination hearing for Kevin Warsh to be Fed chair.

Fed Governor Christopher Waller is due to speak at 2:30 pm ET but is unlikely to make any comments on the economy or monetary policy due to the quiet period ahead of the April 28-29 Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
