The dollar traded slightly lower on Monday as traders awaited several Federal Reserve speakers and key data later this week. The Canadian dollar lagged behind other currencies.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell about 0.1%. This was the first session of declines after three days of gains.
Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran said interest rates are too high and proposed aggressive rate cuts in the coming months to protect the labor market.
"The FOMC may have injected more two-way volatility into currency markets," Vasileios Gkionakis, senior economist and strategist at Aviva Investors, wrote in a note, adding that current cyclical and structural forces favor further dollar weakness.
English: "The last few months: the trade war has turned more peaceful and foreigners have returned to US assets," wrote George Saravelos, head of FX research at Deutsche Bank, in a note. "But beneath the surface, our assessment remains bearish."
EUR/USD strengthened 0.3% to 1.1775. USD/JPY fell 0.1% to 147.83; hedge funds added bearish yen bets during the week ending September 16, Commodity Futures Trading Commission data showed. Rates and options suggest the pair may be ahead of an inflection.
UBS Investment Bank raised its USD/JPY forecast to 143 by year-end, from a previous estimate of 130. Political uncertainty has been a factor in the market believing the BOJ will maintain its dovish stance despite rising inflation risks, according to strategists at the UBS unit.
AUD/USD strengthened slightly, falling 0.1% to 0.6588 after Central Bank Governor Michele Bullock said the central bank had "made very good progress" in terms of inflation.
USD/CAD rose 0.2% to 1.3817. The Canadian dollar performed the worst among Group of 10 currencies against the US dollar on Monday. Some information comes from forex traders familiar with the transaction who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to speak publicly.
