The dollar climbed on Monday, supported by still-elevated Treasury yields even after a weaker-than-expected jobs report reduced expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike this month. The euro fell as markets focused on political uncertainty in France, with the currency losing ground as the greenback strengthened.
