The dollar weakened against the euro yesterday, knocked lower by technical factors. Against the yen, it initially rose after U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson suggested that the government was not too concerned by the yen's weakness. But the yen rallied later as investors looked ahead to a G7 meeting on Friday and Saturday in Germany, where finance ministers are likely to discuss the yen weakness.
The crown was unable to retain its gains from previous session on Tuesday and fell versus the euro in line with the Polish zloty. Czech central bank board member Vladimir Tomsik confirmed CNB's dovish view, saying interest rates may either rise or fall in the next policy move.
