US Dollar Declines Ahead of Fed Meeting

Sharing is caring!

The US dollar decreased against other major currencies as investors were awaiting the Federal Reserve meeting due to open later this week.

In late New York trading on Monday, the euro rose to USD 1.1175 from USD 1.1152 of the previous session, and the British pound increased to USD 1.3030 from USD 1.3016, Xinhua news agency reported.

The Australian dollar climbed to USD 0.7547 from USD 0.7482. The dollar bought 101.79 Japanese yen, lower than 102.43 yen in the previous session. The dollar dipped to 0.9800 Swiss francs from 0.9811 Swiss francs, and it inched down to 1.3191 Canadian dollars from 1.3215 Canadian dollars.

The market kept a close eye on the Fed’s two-day monetary policy meeting, which is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, for more information about the pace of further interest rate-hikes.

Analysts said the recent over downbeat economic data from the country has boosted bets that the Fed will skip the chance to raise rates in its September.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, was down 0.26 percent at 95.859 in late trading.
