Dollar Heads to more Losses Amid Geopolitical Uncertainty
Dollar fell against most major rivals on Tuesday amid geopolitical uncertainty, coinciding with today's US mid-term Congressional elections. Most analysts expect the Republican party to win most seats in this election, moving aside the Democrats from their current majority. Later this week, important US inflation data will be released and will provide clues on the Federal Reserve's next monetary policies.
The Federal Reserve decided last week to increase interest rates by 75 basis points as expected, the fourth such increase in a row to control inflation. The dollar index fell 0.4% to 109.6 as of 18:36 GMT, with an intraday high at 110.6, and a low at 109.3.
