Dollar holds steady vs. other majors

Dollar little changed vs. rivals in quiet trade
Dollar little changed vs. rivals in quiet trade

Investing.com - The dollar held steady against the other major currencies on Monday, as U.S. political tensions persisted and as trading volumes were expected to remain light with no major U.S. data to be released throughout the day.

Sentiment on the greenback remained vulnerable following news on Friday that senior White House advisor Steven Bannon had been fired.

Ongoing uncertainty over the economic agenda of U.S. President Donald Trump and doubts that the Federal Reserve will deliver a third rate hike this year have fed into recent dollar weakness.

The yen was higher, with USD/JPY edging down 0.17% at 109.00, while USD/CHF added 0.12% to trade at 0.9660.

Markets were also still jittery amid sustained geopolitical tensions after a terrorist attack last Thursday in Barcelona killed 14 people and injured 100 others.

Spanish police was still searching on Sunday for the man behind the wheel in the Barcelona van attack, amid growing signs members of the militant group had connections elsewhere in Europe.

Separately, North Korea warned Sunday that joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises set to start Monday will be "adding fuel to the fire" of already heightened tensions with Washington and its allies.

Elsewhere, EUR/USD was little changed at 1.1763, while GBP/USD also held steady at 1.2881.

The Australian and New Zealand dollars were almost unchanged, with AUD/USD at 0.7933 and with NZD/USD at 0.7316.

Meanwhile, USD/CAD held at 1.2595.

The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, was almost unchanged at 93.31 by 08:15 a.m. ET (12:15 a.m. GMT).
