The dollar slips as FX moves stay contained
Dollar moves are small overall, with most major pairs finishing near unchanged.
The dollar index edges down 0.1% to 99.951. EUR/USD slips 0.1% to 1.1533, GBP/USD falls 0.2% to 1.3486, and AUD/USD is nearly flat at 0.7062.
Against the yen, the dollar rises 0.1% to 159.49. USD/CHF climbs 0.4%, USD/CAD adds 0.1%, and USD/INR rises 0.1%.
Several emerging-market crosses are weaker against the dollar, including USD/KRW, which rises 0.4%, and USD/BRL, which gains 0.3%. USD/MXN falls 0.3%, while USD/ZAR is nearly flat.
FXStreet headlines point to a soft dollar tone after U.S. inflation data and to specific levels in USD/CHF and USD/MXN, but the price action itself stays orderly.
