NEW YORK—The dollar climbed on Wednesday while the euro weakened as oil prices saw another jump with U.S. President Joe Biden poised to announce, alongside other European leaders, new sanctions against Russia during his trip to Europe.

Biden is due to arrive in Brussels later on Wednesday on his first foreign trip since the war in Ukraine began, and will meet NATO and European leaders in an emergency summit at the Western military alliance’s headquarters.
