bloomberg.com Dollar Skepticism Strength in the dollar may not last, some investors said. While the U.S. manufacturing index improved, a reading below 50 signals business is shrinking. The index hasn't been above that point since July 2000. Investors are also focusing on a report due Friday, which is expected to show U.S. August unemployment climbed to 4.6 percent, the highest since March 1998, according to a Bloomberg News survey. The number of unemployed probably rose as manufacturers idled plants and other businesses reduced their workforce to preserve profits. ``Yesterday's (NAPM) figures were good, but if the next ones, such as the unemployment data, worsen, then the sentiment will completely change again,'' said Susumu Kanazawa, head of treasury trading at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd. in Hong Kong.
